"They are hunting for Car batteries in Calabar like gold. Some even go ahead to steal in a broad day light, a situation where many have been burnt to death by a mob, including a 9, 10 and a 12-year-old boy at Mayne Avenue. To this teenagers, a N1000 note is so as big as a million. For these reasons, car owners in Calabar now use padlock for their batteries due to theft"
