Malam Kamisu, 20, told cops he prefers sex with animals to women

A man allegedly had sex with a goat - admitting to police that he has been with animals at least 10 times before.

Police in Jigawa State, Nigeria, said they arrested a 20-year-old man for allegedly having sexual intercourse with an animal in the Dutse area.

Malam Kamisu was initially picked up by the village head and handed over to the police. Kamisu, who is said to be the goat's owner, explained it was apparently not his first time of having sex with animals in the bush.

The NahUsabi news website reports Kamisu apparently admitted to officials that he preferred bestiality to sex with women, because the animals satisfied his sexual desires.

In fact, he had never made love to any woman in his area. Police said he told them that he regretted his action saying he knew it was an offence to a society and against Islamic injunctions.

The chief magistrate's court sitting in Dutse ordered he be remanded in prison for two weeks.

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

The news site used a bizarre picture of a man and a goat, thought not to be the accused, yet censored words like sex and sexual.
