Man arrested 'for having sex with sheep'

A 21-year old Nigerien, Abdul Fatawu, is in the grips of the police for allegedly having sex with a sheep in an uncompleted mission house.

The suspect was arrested on November 2 by Pastor Joel Bedding of the Church of Pentecost at Mentukwa in Elubo in the Jomoro District of the Western Region.

The Jomoro District Police Commander, Superintendent of Police John Ferguson Dzineku, confirmed the arrest to the Ghana News Agency.

He said Fatawu would be arraigned and charged with having unnatural carnal knowledge.

Supt Dzineku said Pastor Bedding visited the uncompleted mission house and heard a strange noise emanating from one of the rooms and when he entered he saw Fatawu having sex with a sheep.

He said Fatawu was caught just when he had ejaculated with some of the semen sprinkled on his thighs and some of the furs of the animal were on his penis and pubic hair.

The pastor reported the incident to the Elubo police and he was arrested.
