Robbery: Goat suspect, a hoax - Saraki

The Kwara State Government on Monday appealed to the people of the state, especially the residents of Ilorin, to disregard the alleged mysterious goat accused of being a man who had attempted to snatch a car.


According to a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Mas'ud Adebimpe, the appeal becomes necessary because of the factions of rumour making the round concerning the mysterious goat being paraded as an armed robbery suspect.

It said intelligence reports reaching Governor Bukola Saraki had no confirmatory evidence of such occurrence.

"There is no iota of truth in the alleged rumour as officers of the state police command are already investigating the matter," the statement said.

Saraki advised the citizens to go about their lawful businesses.
