A woman has given birth to a goat after a two-year pregnancy, Nigerian media has claimed.

The woman, who was unnamed in the coverage, was reported to have being pregnant for two years and went to a community centre for help.

A free medical treatment clinic had been set up by a local pastor and the woman's labour was apparently brought on.

Crowds gathered to watch with local media reporting an infant goat-like animal covered in a pool of blood on the concrete floor.

Footage has also been released showing the blood-soaked animal which locals say backs up the bizarre claims.

The incident was said to have taken place in the city of Port Harcourt in Nigeria and was first reported on social media, before being picked up in the country's regional news websites including Nigeria Today, the Daily Post and the Herald.
