According to Anna Politkovskaya, Gaibov had orchastrated the atrocities in the outskirts of the Chechnyan village Kurchaloi by Kadyrov units on July 27 - 28 2006. Reportedly, he was heard phoning Kadyrov to report that they had killed "Devil No. 1," and hung his head up as a warning to the rest of the village. Armed men then spent the next two hours photographing the head of one of the victims with their mobile phones; the head remained there for 24 hours, after which militiamen removed it. As a Chechen state official he had given orders to members of the Russian security forces who were not subordinate to him to decapitate a dead body.
