Pilot Who Flew Kenyans For 8 Years Without Academic Qualifications In Court

Ahmad Nassir Dirie Olow, the pilot who successfully flew Kenyans for 8 years without academic qualifications was recently arraigned in court to face forgery charges.

The pilot was accused of forging documents in a bid to secure an admission into an aviation school. However, Ahmad Nassir Dirie Olow denied the charges while appearing before the Nairobi chief Magistrate Martha Mutuku.

Consequently, the fake pilot was released on a cash bail of 50,000 Kenya shillings.

In a shocking turn of events, the principal of “his former school” told the court that the documents ATPU officers requested could not be traced since no records of the accused went to school in Wajir High School.

The forged KCSE certificate showed that he got a strong B+ (Plus), while in reality he never got that grade. After making the forgery, he enrolled in a Kenyan aviation college, on the strength of the KCSE certificate and upon graduation, he received a certificate to show that he was qualified to fly a plane. Over the past eight years, Olow has been practicing this trade.

Interestingly, A pilot Lt.Col.Rtd Adan Ali who is also a director of 99 Flying schools based at Wilson airport told the court that he trained Ahmed Nassir Dirie and that he passed his exams with flying colors and qualified to fly.

Ahmad Nassir Dirie Olow is not the first Kenyan to hit the headlines for successfully running a scientific career for which he wasn’t fully qualified. In 2016, Ronald Kiprotich Melly worked as a fake doctor at the Kapsabet County Referral Hospital before he was transferred to head Meteitei Sub-County hospital. He performed eight successful surgeries.
