A man in Jigawa has been arrested for having sex with a goat in the Baranda forest environs of the Dutse Local Government Area of the state.

20-year-old Mallam Kamisu Baranda is said to have stated that the goat was his and that he asked its permission before performing the act.

Baranda has been remanded in prison on the orders of a Magistrate court sitting in Dutse, the state capital.

Daily Times reports:

The chief magistrate’s court sitting in Dutse has ordered the remand of the boy, Malam Kamisu Baranda, in prison for two weeks.

Magistrate Awwalu Sani Balago said the accused person did not confess that he committed the act but the court remanded him to allow police make further inquiries.

Kamisu was said to have admitted that the goat belonged to him and that he had asked the goat to have sexual intercourse with him but he was arrested by the village head of the area and handed over to the police.

He explained that this was not the first time of having sex with animals inside bush because he has done it over 10 times and was never arrested.

He regretted that if he knew that he would be arrested, he would have not tried it because it was the reason why he did not make love with women in the area. He said animals satisfied his demand, that is why he is not after women in the state just to avoid embarrassment but still he found himself ambushed by people in the area.

He called on the court to do justice for him because he knows that what he did was an offence to a society and against the Islamic injunctions.
