I was working CIC in the TRACON; Developmental released Aircraft X off of Runway 22 at IKV. Developmental assigned Aircraft X a heading of 360 after departure due to traffic landing DSM. The Developmental asked the pilot if this would comply with terrain and obstruction avoidance. The pilot answered affirmative. I told the Developmental that the 360 heading was not a good idea as it will put the aircraft in a 4;000 ft. MSA during IFR/MVFR conditions. Developmental either ignored me or didn't hear apparently. Just because the pilot says he can maintain separation doesn't mean we should be assigning headings towards prominent obstructions; especially when the conditions make it impossible for them to comply. Aircraft X entered a 4;000 ft. MVA at approximately 2;800 ft. prior to passing the altitude of the prominent obstruction. Assign headings away from obstructions for satellite airport departures when it is necessary to assign a heading.
TRACON Controller in Charge [CIC] reported that a Developmental Controller released an aircraft out of a non-towered airport into airspace with a higher MVA against published procedures.
