Comments
A couple of questions about this:
(1) This rumour mentions both the initial problem (the goats being stolen) and the ultimate resolution (some of them returning home). Is this based on separate reports or was the whole incident reported after the goats had ultimately returned home?
(2) Have there been any further reports or developments related to this, perhaps hinting at tensions it may have caused?

I got the report after the matter was at rest. The whole situation created some tension because Ngao people are not allowed to cross to Kipao for any reason and so the best was to retaliate in case goats from Kipao crossed to Ngao. No further developments on this rumor
