… For violating environmental laws
From BAMIGBOLA GBOLAGUNTE, Osogbo
No fewer than five goats were yesterday arrested at Dele-Yesa area in Osogbo, the Osun State capital by officials of the state Waste Management Agency (OWMA) for allegedly violating environmental laws. The state Coordinator of the agency, Mr. Henry Ogunbanwo said the goats would be charged to court by the agency and would be prosecuted in accordance with the laws guiding environmental protection in the state.
He said the state government had issued notice of warning to all residents of the state capital on the need to monitor their domestic animals to avoid public disturbance by the animals, which, he said, was against the environmental laws. Ogunbanwo disclosed that the five goats arrested were detained at the office of the agency in Osogbo from where they would be taken to court for prosecution.
He said the goats ran fowl of the laws guiding environmental protection by roaming around the residential area of Osogbo instead of being caged by their owners. He declared that the present administration in the state had zero tolerance for dirtiness and environmental hazard; hence the need for the enshrinement of the environmental laws, adding that the government would not take it lightly with violators of the laws According to him, officials of the agency would from now move to every nook and cranny of the state to arrest animals violating the state environmental laws, stressing that owners of such animals would also be dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the laws.
He advised those rearing domestic animals to keep them in a cage to avoid arrest, insisting that his agency would not allow any animal to roam about on the streets of any town or village in the state. He urged those looking for their goats in Osogbo and its environs to check at the state office of OWMA in Osogbo.
Owma, you guy no get work to do. What makes a typical village? roaming of domestic animals. Fools.
I’m sure u people are not going to kill those goats for ngwongwo.what a cock and bull story.

I really pity those 5 goats, as there wont be any lawyer to argue their case,now they will go to prison (Aregbesolas stomach).
How will their offences be read out to them? What happens after the prosecution? Pls lets nt abuse the honourable court of justice

Wonders shall never end, my advice is that let the court sitting be at one mama put, so as to facilitate easier imprisonment of the goats.
guilty or not guilty…., as their lordship pleases….
its an injustice. How can those goat defend itself?
Mr thankgod, I the only Ifediba I know is a lawyer.
Lwkm…chai nigeria…God hlp us
Confused country with confused people!! Why on earth wil they arrest 5 goat just for disturbing d public or has goat become human being who knows when he/she is making noise? Pls mr henry release those goat to their owners no be only persecution.
They have no work to do. Nounsence
Hope there will b tranquility and order in the law court,those Mr goats must answere guilty or not guilt b/4 court proceeds. Ttheir verdict else the matter will get to supreme court. Where is George Owelle where is my Amimal Farm?
Sometime i wonder if pple still have sense or have we forgot what make us human. On which earth can human beings have case with Animal. Is just like somebody who is blind and deaf and somebody who is seeing and hearing have case in the court. Pls can somebody tell me how goat can defend it self. Sometime the way our journalist behave sometime. Not every thing should be published pls. World are reading this news. It bring shame to Nigerian. Cha!!! how can goat take to court shame accept if the own of the goat come out to represent it self not goat. Is better they said that this man violet the environment than to say the goat violet
Who then defends the goat in the court, a fellow goat i guess. Why not apprehend the owners instead of animals, are you not making mockery of the judiciary in Nigeria? Calling Osogbo a city as if it has all it takes to answer such name, Rastafarian governor. The governor of Ifa spirit, another funny story will soon come up, some people deserves not to be a governor in indeed, his out look alone is a suspect. Making a cannabis smoker a state governor is the reason to all these mess.

One thing i love about Nigeria is that we emulate the negative western ideas and practice it very efficiently and shy away where needed to tackle. what a huge joke. hahahahhaahhahaha, here the justice pronouncement, i hereby charge you goats for wandering on said date, that you contravene the section 1, sub- section c of the osun state laws on environmental and waste management, you are hereby found guilty and sentenced to capital punishment, only to be executed by the hangman Gov. Aregbesola
My friend, for your information, those innocent, poor, neglected & hungry goats will never be executed on these frivolous chrages. Lawyers for The Campaign For The Protection of Freelance Goats (CPFG), an abandoned animal advocacy group, have been alerted & are preparing to take the appeal of this silly Osun State High Court sentence up to the Federal Supreme Court. The campaign’s president, Dr. Goat Head, promises to spare no resources to free those suffering citizens of the goat community from becoming isi-ewu pepper-soup on somebody’s dinner table. However, they are appealing for your financial contributions to support the fight to save the goats. For the goat loving sympathizers out there, please send your widow’s mite to Acct. No. 3459999901 domiciled at any new generation bank in the country. These goats must not die! Foolish people! Only in Naija! Kidnappers & Boko-Haramists, Bank robbers & Subsidy thieves, Pipeline vandals & Corporate Oles, Crooked politicians & thieving governors (former & present) are all running rampant in the country. But our police and other law enforcers can never apprehend them for prosecution. But for defenseless, malnourished, poor goats, why not? What a waste of prosecutorial state energy!
My people this sounds funny, but i can still remember in old good days when i was a little growing boy in the village they use to be this type of thing I think is not a new thing at all but the funny part of it that they said, those goats will be charged to court as you said who will stand in for those goats? why can’t they look for the owners to come forth and pay the fine attached to it or do they just want or looking for goat to keep celebrating the new year, i do know some times it is dangerous to meet goat and other type of animal on the road wile driving, owners of such should as a matter of responsibility control those animal as many of them has coursed a lot of accident on our roads in the past. may the good lord continue to bless Nigeria Amen.
What an interesting story goats arrested, goats charged to court. Well these goats will answer you in the court of law. I am interested in this case and will like to know how it ended. The owners of these goats should never show face in the court.
Those goats will be taken to high court of aregbesora’s kitchen where his wife is the chief judge.the court proceeding will take place in the chief judge’s hot soup and they will pass their prison sentence in aregbesora’s stomach prison.lol
State of Osun?
This is very laughable.
Why is this man embarrassing ACN?
Stupid environmental law by Osun state government. The government should embark of useful laws that would bring dividents of democracy to people of Osun state instead of arresting goats.
Non sense.
Hahahahahaha! Goats to be sued to court? In fact, the Environmental body should look for something else to do. If I’m not mistaken, there might be heaps of rubbish round the corner and even blocked sewages. Let them go ahead to arrest fowls, dogs and pussy cats.
The gesture, should also be extended to fulani cattles.
The gesture, should also be extended to fulani cattles that is here and there making parts for the gully erosion, destroying fams etc
it is like the sun news paper do not have good story give to public that is why they give bull sheet story on the fron page, what a lazy editors.
as for the goats i hope they will be given some defending lawyers, they lawyer must also be paid from the national cake money, what a fail state.paying for lawyers to defend goat in a court, i do not know what is the worth of the goats.usless people and lazy government officials, i resmy case.
None of you said anything when cows shepherd by the Hausa fulani rampaged through a village killing scores of people who complained that their cash crops were being destroyed. Today na goats una dey arrest. what a shame!
My town is filled such animals.daily sun we may ned ur help 2 publishe d case.
What a tension and stress easing story. Maybe one day there will be no goat again in Osun state because they have all gone to Osun state Prison
Nigeriaaaa, everything abt d country is jst funny/games, so police left all the work at hand in the state, then start arresting goats, oh my good ness, …..dat means, there is no crime in d state.
Prosecutor: My lord, these goats were caught wandering in the street thereby causing nuisance to the public.
Judge: Mr. Goat, guilty or not giulty?
Goats: Kpaaaaaaaa!
Judge: Failure to defend yourself you are hereby sentenced to 2years imprisonment with hard labour.
IF THE JUDGES ARE LESS BUSY THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SUSPECTS IN OSUN STATE PRISONS STILL AWAITING TRIAL FOR YEARS. RUBBISH

Interesting story from OSUN STATE.
What of cows, fowls ie cocks and hens, dogs, ducks, pigs etc
Was it only goats that the prosecutor has found wanting in Osun State?
You should make more arrests, else you should be sent to psychiatric hospital for test.
Direct your energy to useful things. I know that the state coordinator must be one of those agberos used in winning election as his action suggested.
Arrant nonsense. Absolute rubbish. This is a joke of the year. There is no difference between the people that arrested the goats and the goats itselves. They are all animals. Vissionless people we called leaders.
THOSE ANIMAL RIGHT LAWERS THAT HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR WORK TO DO THIS IS UR OPPORTUNITY.
come to think of it,if all humans are moving about,why cant the goat move about.that is infringement on the rights of the goat to move around.they should train some goats to go and study law to defend themselves in court of ……….?
Goateeee, oya hanlele…yeye people!
Mr Goats are guilty or not guilty? Nmeee!
Only OBJ can defend this goats cos he has been dealing with animals for decades. He resemble them too!
please, i want to know who will be the defendant if the goats are taken to court & what happens to the goats if fund guilty . will they be sent to prison or will the osun state govt build the goat prison yard & how many years will they serve the goat prison custody for the offence committed. & what happens to the ex-convicted goats, will it server as a deterrent to other goats. i am just confused, this is interesting the Osun state is having a laudable & lucrative project. keep it up
@ Okoko, you really make me laugh so o o o much , it seems you have seen lawyers try goat case before
They should instead go for fulani cattles destroying crops and their owners that kill at will.useless people.
so funny,how can goat arrest his fellow GOAT? or that is a means for the upper GOAT to steal his fellow GOAT..well thats 9ja.
This case is suspicious! Who knows,May be the governor wants to start a pepper-soup joint for his wife! Make sure U do ur best to patronize it.
Mr henry where will you try the goats is it in court meant for human beings or will you build their own court who is going to read their offences to them or are you good in discussing with goats or do you understand goats language what if the goats are guilty will they go to jail answer yourself and be wise.
ACN government are useless and cannot bring any difference to the public. Goat?
A sheep can never get justice in a court presided by a lion. I pity those goats. They will be sentence to pepper soup prison after taking their pleads.
Guys, we all need to move forward and think straight. The story is quite amusing and stress relieving, indeed some good laugh! Oshogbo is a capital city and goats/animals should not be seen wandering about on the streets. They should be caged by there owners. I will suggest that their owners should be procecuted and not the goats as being reported. For sure most of the owners may not show up. Nigerian Jounalist, na wah for una!
I can’t stop laughing, your comments are great! Ntoooo ewu kambia
