Biodun Esan, Ilorin
A female goat (nanny) has reportedly delivered a half-human-half-goat at the Adigun-Oke community in the Ifelodun local government area of Kwara state.
The incident happened last Wednesday evening as people rushed to catch a glimpse of the shocking discovery at the backyard of the house where the goat gave birth to the bizarre being.
According to the wife of the owner of the female goat, Aishat Umar, who spoke in Hausa language, the goat actually gave birth to two kids, saying that one was a complete goat while the other was in human form, except for the ears and the hands.
Also speaking on the incident, one of the community leaders in Adigun-Oke village, Pa James Adeoye, said that people were just seen rushing to see the astounding discovery, but to confirm the rumour of the bizarre delivery.
He said that one of the creatures has hairs all over the body just like a goat while the second looked exactly like a human being, without hair but with teeth like a human being.
It was also gathered that the kids who looked like a human, died just after it was delivered and was immediately buried by the owner, Umar, when he returned from his farm, while the nanny was busy taking care of the other kid.
The community leader said that the nanny had produced kids before the incident, adding that it had never given birth to such a creature and that the people had never witnessed a human being mating with a goat that could lead to such a bizarre incident.
One of the residents of the area, Mr. Lukman Onaade, said that the incident was surprising to every villager, as well as people from neighbouring communities, who, he said, thronged to Adigun-Oke community to witness the incident.
He said that those, who had never known nor visited Adigun-Oke community before now, had come to the village since the incident happened to confirm whether it was true that a goat could give birth to a human being.
The nanny and the kid are still alive, while the one in human form has died and buried.
