A bloke in Harare is claiming that supernatural beings made him do it after he got accused of flogging his nan's stuff to buy drugs.
Mary Nyakupariwa, the man's grandma, went to the Harare Civil Court to get protection from her grandson.
Nyakupariwa said her grandson, Armstrol Nyondoro, had been selling things from her house without asking, like her telly, couch, and trays. She reckoned he used the cash to score drugs and got aggro when she called him out. "He gives me lip, roughhouses me, and even brings his mates round who nick money from my bedroom," she told the court.
Nyondoro tried to blame goblins for his behaviour. He said they possessed him and made him do bad things. "Goblins whisper in my ear, telling me to sell her gear and act up. I try to fight it, but they're too strong," he claimed.
The magistrate, Ms. Meenal Naratom, wasn't having any of Nyondoro's goblin nonsense. She said his claims didn't hold water and questioned how goblins could make him act like that.
The court sided with Nyakupariwa and gave her a protection order to keep her belongings safe. NewsDay reports that Nyondoro is now banned from selling any of his grandma's stuff without her say-so.
