A 40-year-old Okada rider, Monday Dauda, was found dead in Kaduna South Local Government Area of Kaduna State. His body was discovered at Kasuwa Monday on October 14, 2026, after his family could not locate him despite searching hospitals and police stations in the metropolis. Dauda, known as an 'Okada rider', had been working as a commercial motorcycle rider since the closure of the textile company he previously worked at.
He would ride from 7 am to 6 pm every day. When he failed to return home by 6 pm on the day of his death, his family panicked and began searching for him in various places. They discovered his lifeless body with bruises all over it. Dauda's wife, Mrs Jenifer Monday, who has three children, expressed her grief and shared that they had planned to relocate to their home town by December due to financial difficulties.
Now, Dauda's murder and the theft of his motorcycle only add to her struggles as she nurses a three-month-old baby girl.
