He is a teacher of history and social studies by education. During the First Chechen War he was a company commander of the Chechen OMON fighting on the side of Russia. After the withdrawal of Russian troops from Chechnya, he was persecuted by the Akhmadov brothers, as a result of which he lived in Moscow and Latvia. During the Second Chechen War he was a commander of the Chechen OMON.[1]
A clash occurred between a group of Chechen policemen travelling to Ingushetia to apprehend a criminal and local policemen, resulting in seven dead and 20 wounded on both sides. Dakhiyev, who learnt of this, went to the scene of the conflict to settle it, where he was seriously wounded. Dakhiev died of his wounds the same day in a hospital in Vladikavkaz.[2]
