The Magical Ride

The pilot felt that for sure. Probably didn’t care much for it either I’d think.

A 30-year-old man who was seen dangling beneath a helicopter during musician Prince Indah’s traditional wedding in Rapogi village, Uriri, Migori County on Sunday evening has gone into hiding, prompting a police manhunt.

The man, identified as Salom Obise, clung to a helicopter carrying YouTuber Oga Obinna moments after musician’s traditional wedding had concluded.

Uriri sub-County Police Commander Enrico Lyomu, who confirmed the incident, said they were searching for Obise, who took the drastic move of hanging onto a helicopter as it was taking off.

The father of two, who has since gone into hiding, shocked residents and guests at the wedding with his daring act.

“The helicopter descended into a cultivated field and dropped him there. We want him to explain why he chose to risk his life,” said Lyomu.

The man, who hails from Rapogi village in Uriri sub-County, ignored security warnings and was seen confronting the occupants of the helicopter before grabbing its landing gear.

Security personnel had attempted to remove him from the scene by physically restraining him and pushing him aside, but he remained defiant.

Residents and guests, who watched in disbelief, are seen in a video trying to warn the man, who earns a living repairing motorcycles at Rapogi market, against taking such a dangerous risk, but their pleas went unheard.

A few minutes after take-off, the man — whom some claim may be partially mentally challenged — was spotted hanging from the helicopter’s landing gear.

The pilot, reportedly concerned for the man’s safety, is said to have circled the area before descending and safely dropping him in a cultivated field.

He emerged unscathed.

A group of local youths who witnessed him being dropped from the helicopter ran to him and carried him off triumphantly as they left the venue. His actions have sparked outrage among Kenyans, with many calling for his arrest for endangering not only his own life, but also that of those on board the helicopter.

“Something terrible could have happened to him. He should never have taken such a drastic step,” said Calvine Omondi, a resident.

Obise, whose whereabouts remain unknown, is said to have boasted about being the first person from his village to board a helicopter.

“It is extremely risky,” said the OCPD who said, once caught, Obise will be interrogated on why he was trying to commit suicide.

Security personnel had attempted to remove him from the scene by physically restraining him and pushing him aside, but he remained defiant.

Completely wortless security.lol

I think that's a good thing. With wort, they all would have been drunk.

How did it manage to attain lift with the blades appearing to rotate so slowly? Must have been an optical illusion

Stephen Odhiambo Ouma aka Salom Obise (widely known as Abisalom Komando or the Migori James Bond) was arrested at his home in Rapogi.

He was charged with endangering the safety of an aircraft and its passengers.

He pleaded guilty and was sentenced on April 23, 2026 to 18 months in prison or a fine of Ksh 500,000 (approx. $3,800 USD). He expressed regret in court but also claimed he did it because he wanted to fly to Nairobi but to some others the bicycle repairman and father of two said he simply wanted to make history and feel the sweet air above the sky.

Awww poor lad. I can empathise with him.. once in a lifetime chance for a unique experience. And he survived being on DR too. He'll have a great story to tell his grandchildren. It's usually the things you don't do you end up regretting.
