He's Not a Goat, He's My Brother

When is a goat not a goat? When you're in Lagos, Nigeria and someone has used black magic to turn the goat into your brother. At least that's what happened to a man in the Isseluku village in southern Nigeria who was arrested recently for killing his brother with an axe.

According to Police Commissioner Udom Ekpoudom, the man tried to chase away some goats on his farm and when one wouldn't move he attacked it with an axe. Only after he killed the goat did it magically turn into his brother.
Black magic runs rampant in Nigeria and has been blamed for a variety of vicious crimes.

In 2001, eight people were burned to death after one person in their group was accused of making a bystander's penis magically disappear.
It was not reported whether the offending magician later pulled the penis from behind the bystanders ear.
