Panic in Kiandutu as goat with human features is born.

A bizarre mutant goat with human-like facial features has left Kiandutu residents astonished.

John Mwongela, a resident of Molo area within the slums woke up Sunday morning to the  bizarre incident when he found out that one of his goats had given birth to a kid that had the features of a human baby.

He immediately called his neighbours who too admitted never to have witnessed such a debacle.

"When I went to check, I was quite shocked but fascinated too as its face, nose, short legs and even the condition of its soft body seemed like a human baby, but the light brown fur covering its whole body resembles that of a goat," he narrated to Thika Town Today early this morning.

He added that despite the features, the kid did not have any umbilical cord.

Mwongela said the kid was already dead when they found it, and was believed to have been trampled by its mother or due to other complications.

Shocked residents who had milled into Mwangela's compound expressed mixed reactions with some terming it an act of witchcraft.

Others pointed an accusing finger to some youth whom they accused of having sex with the nanny goat. They termed it an abomination and wanted the goat killed and some traditional cleansing ceremony to be performed.

"This is the work of illicit brews and drugs. We need to support Governor (Ferdinand) Waititu's fight on alcohol as it will finish our people," said one middle-aged woman.

By the time we went to press, no government official had arrived and the owner was contemplating what to do with the carcass.
