Official orders goats released from jail
KINSHASA, Democratic Republic of Congo (UPI) -- A Democratic Republic of Congo official has ordered the release of a dozen goats he said were improperly held in a jail in Kinshasa.
Deputy Justice Minister Claude Nyamugabo said he ordered the goats freed after finding them in the lockup during a routine visit, the BBC reported Wednesday.
Nyamugabo said police officers had planned to bring the goats, which had been sold illegally at the side of the road, to court. He said the officers will be sent for retraining.
However, Nyamugabo did not say what would become of the owners of the goats, who were arrested along with their herd.
