As i stood on a street waiting for a cab that'll take me home around 9:14pm i saw something that sent chills down my spine.
This part of Calabar is more like a hood, they're king of the streets everywhere and it's usually very busy even at night.
You'd find a suya spot, beer parlour, salons and a mini fruit village in this area.
This taxi man, drove down and i flagged him down, told him where i was headed and he waved, meaning he was not taking that route and he drove off slowly approaching three young guys in their early twenties, dressed well and looking modest.
I'm not sure what happened but as soon as i turned my eyes again, i heard these guys talking gently to the cab man.
"wetin dey worry you"? one of them asked
"you dey craze abi"? another chipped in
before i knew what was going on the man was receiving slaps from one of them.
