A COW that strayed and killed a bus driver has been detained by police in Nigeria's commercial capital, Lagos.
"The cow has been arrested and is being detained at Trade Fair police station, Ojo," Lagos police spokesman Olubode Ojajuni said today.
The bus driver was urinating at a corner when the cow struck him from behind, the spokesman said.
"As the man fell down, the cow repeatedly hit him with its hooves and horns until he died," he said.
The cow would remain in police custody pending the arrest of its owners, the spokesman said.

INDIAN Railway Minister Laloo Prasad Yadav is beaming after a doll in his likeness has been snapped up from toy stores in the state of Bihar where he will soon contest elections.
The plump doll, called Lalooji, sports a mop of white hair and is clothed in the politician's trademark white kurta pajamas.
The doll, a dead ringer for the man dubbed the "clown prince" of Indian politics, is manufactured by a Mumbai-based company and went on sale in Bihar recently.
"See how popular I am. Everyone is playing with me in all homes," Mr Prasad said on Sunday.
The 57-year-old head of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the second biggest party in the ruling Congress-led national coalition, is known for his earthy presence and his always handy spitoon for the betel nut he chomps on.
His party lost power in February state assembly elections and Bihar was put under federal rule for several months as no rival group of parties could form a government.
The state now faces new elections in October and November with Mr Prasad already stumping for votes. Party workers have reportedly advised him to buy the doll in bulk ahead of the election.

DOZENS of live tropical fish have been discovered strapped to an Australian woman arriving at Melbourne Airport.
The 51 fish were hidden inside a purpose-built apron containing 15 plastic water-filled bags.
The apron was concealed under the woman's skirt when she arrived on Friday on a flight from Singapore...snip...
A frightfully stupid woman
Diana's kidney 'lives within me'

A 38-year-old French woman who started using English phrases in conversation after a kidney transplant claims her donor was Princess Diana.
Francoise Gaellar, a secretary at the primary school in the small village of Espira de l'Agly, had a kidney transplant in September 1997, two days after Princess Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris.
Ms Gaellar spent three weeks in hospital recovering but when she returned home, found herself peppering conversation with English phrases.
"I found myself speaking English to my friends, something I don't normally do because I have no reason to," she said. "I cannot explain why I did this."
Under French law, Ms Gaellar is not and will never be allowed to know the identity of the donor.
"I just had a feeling the donor was Diana," she said.
Ms Gaellar's claims have raised questions over what happened to Diana's body at La Pitie Salpetriere Hospital in Paris in the early hours of August 31, 1997.
Mohamed Al Fayed, the father of Dodi Fayed, who also died in the crash, has said he believes Princess Diana's organs were removed to prevent a proper post mortem taking place.
But the British coroner overseeing the inquest into Diana and Dodi's deaths last week refused to say whether or not her organs were removed.
Prince Charles's press secretary similarly declined...snip...

$5.2m for old shack
June 12, 2005
A KNOCKDOWN fibro beach shack on the New South Wales central coast is on the market for $5.2 million - complete with overgrown gardens, broken windows and flaking paint.
The five-bedroom demolition job on the beach at Wamberal is valued at 10 times the median price for its suburb. However, its owner insists it represents great value.
First advertised for a jaw-dropping $7 million last year, it passed in for $5.7 million at auction.
Despite owner Frank Hunter slashing $1.8 million off his original asking price, he is yet to find a buyer...snip...
