The bizarre incident allegedly took place in Rukpoku, less than 20 kilometers north of the city of Port Harcourt in southern Nigeria, according to the Daily Post.
A 36-year-old man was seen being followed around by a black goat, which somehow raised suspicions among locals who accused him of Voodooism. They reportedly suspected him of using magic to transform a human into the animal which was now chasing him.
The Nigerian newspaper report that mob then attacked the man, beating him until he lost consciousness. The beating could have been even more severe if not for the intervention of security forces who broke up the altercation.
Comment: Although the author is making appearances of maintaining a neutral stance, it's obvious that she's drunk the "diversity" koolaid and is defending the 'oppressed' against the evil white patriarchy. While it's undoubtedly true that some of these diversity advocates are being harassed by being doxed to outside sites (trolls can be cruel), it's paranoid and disingenuous to say "this was their plan all along! To goad us into saying things and then exposing it to the world!"
