Department of Public Transport, Calabar, caused the accident
Martins said after he boarded the taxi, the Department of Public Transport (DOPT) officials started chasing the cab man who ran into a ditch.
He said they were all pronounced dead. However, there was a prayer chain organised by his parents and God intervened through a mortuary attendant who insisted that he (Martins) was alive.
Martins was taken to the hospital and upon examination, it was found that he still had a pulse.
His words:
"That singular insistence, answered prayers (because God showed up) gave me a second chance at life as when I was examined I still had pulse."

Reactions from Twitter users
@MrLastBorn_ said:
"He never disappoints those who trust in him. God is still in the business of doing miracles."
@akam_sunny commented:
"Reading this I don't know if I should be laughing or crying cause I remember a comedy where a guy was pretending dead and they were about to embalm him then he woke up. God is good no."
