‘Migori James Bond’ Gets 18-Month Sentence for Hunging On A Helicopter From Prince Indah’s Wedding
Obise was seen clinging dangerously to the helicopter’s skid as it took off, headed for Nairobi with passengers on board.

Stephen Odhiambo Obise, now famously known as “Migori James Bond,” has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for hanging from a helicopter during a local celebrity’s wedding ceremony.
Senior Principal Magistrate Mathias Okuche handed down the sentence on Tuesday, offering Obise the alternative of paying a Ksh 500,000 fine to avoid imprisonment.
The defendant had pleaded guilty to charges of endangering the safety and security of an aircraft and its passengers through disorderly conduct.
The dramatic incident occurred on April 13, 2025, during popular musician Prince Indah’s traditional wedding ceremony in Rapogi village, Migori County.
Obise was seen clinging dangerously to the helicopter’s skid as it took off, headed for Nairobi with passengers on board.
Witnesses reported that the quick-thinking pilot was forced to make an unscheduled landing in a nearby farm to ensure Obise’s safety.
After being dropped off, Obise fled the scene and went into hiding until police apprehended him later that night.
During sentencing, Obise expressed remorse for his actions and informed the court that he is the sole breadwinner for his family, including two children who depend on him.
