FLASHBACK: Why a goat was arrested in Sunyani in 1975

On October 3, 1975, the Daily Graphic reported a strange incident in Sunyani.

The Ghana Police arrested a female goat for taking and eating a two-cedi note from a housewife.

This left a family of six without food for a day.

The police spokesperson recounted that the housewife was handing the money to her maid when the goat intervened.

A Good Samaritan later provided the family with ¢20 for their upkeep.

The police stated they would seek reimbursement from the goat's owner if they came forward to reclaim the animal.
