Kpando(Volta Region) 30 March 1999 - The woman might have thought she was dreaming when he saw a man get off his bicycle, enter a sty and started having sex with the biggest sow. No it was real, a circuit court at Kpando has jailed Felix Quaye, 20, a driver's mate, for six months for having sex with a pig. He pleaded guilty to a charge of "engaging in unnatural carnal act."

Police Detective Inspector Daniel K. Kporha told the stunned court, presided over by Mr Robin Batu, that the incident took place on March 18 at Kpando-Konda to the surprise of a woman who had gone to ease herself near the sty.

Inspector Kporha said the woman saw the accused disembark from his bicycle, enter the sty and started having sex with the biggest sow.

The woman called other witnesses who saw the accused still engaged in the act, police said. The witnesses raised the alarm and Quaye took to his heels leaving his bicycle behind.

The owner of the sty, Mr Emmanuel Blackson Yao Asem, a pensioner, made a complaint to the police.
