Lagos man charged to court for allegedly stealing neighbor’s goat
Abdulfatai Olagunju, 41, was arraigned by the police before an Isolo magistrates court in Lagos for allegedly stealing his neighbor’s goat.

Although Olagunju denied the theft, the trail was traced back to his home. The incident at Kedeibu Estate in Ijegun, Lagos was reported to Iseri-Oshun Police Station and led to the suspect’s capture.
Upon being interrogated, Olagunju claimed that he bought the goat found in his compound from the market to celebrate Sallah with it.
The Magistrate, Mrs. O. I. Williams, granted him bail in the sum of N100,000 with one surety in like sum and adjourned to August 24.
