Nigerian police are investigating a bizarre claim that a boy has been turned into a yam by a witchdoctor, the Daily Star claims.
Officers have even taken a large yam into custody.

As word spread about the schoolboy yam, hundreds of curious people began flocking to the police station to catch a glimpse of it.
