Twenty-five year-old John Ator made the most of a tight situation and escaped with his life when death came calling.
According to reports, Ator was allegedly caught stealing two basins of garri at the Calabar Marian market and was descended upon by a mob.

There had been frequent garri thefts in the market of late, and the mob unleashed their fury on him. They descended on him in their numbers, stripped him naked and hung a condemned tyre around his neck in readiness to roast him alive but the absence of fuel stalled their action.
It was while waiting for fuel that the thief dramatically took to his heels and escaped into the nearby bush.
A search party was dispatched to comb the neighbourhood to track him but could not locate him.
