Highlights:
- Samidoh has been declared a deserter by the Anti-Stock Theft Unit.

- The incident has stirred debate over his dual role as a police officer and musician.
Main Story:
Popular Kikuyu musician Samidoh, who also serves as a police officer under the Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU), has been flagged for desertion after going missing for over ten days without leave or explanation. His failure to report to duty has alarmed his unit, triggering official action.
According to internal reports, Samidoh was formally labeled a deserter—a serious disciplinary offence within police ranks. Authorities from the ASTU have warned that if he is found, he could be arrested immediately. Desertion is considered a grave breach of discipline in the National Police Service, especially for officers holding public prominence.
Samidoh’s status as a celebrity has often put him under public scrutiny, especially regarding his responsibilities as a police officer. His extensive musical tours—some even international—have led to repeated concerns about his ability to maintain his role in law enforcement.
If apprehended, Samidoh may face disciplinary hearings, and depending on the findings, he could be dismissed from the force or subjected to other penalties. As of now, his whereabouts remain unclear, with no official comment from the musician or his representatives.
As the line blurs between stardom and state service, Samidoh’s story raises one big question — can you serve two masters, or will one eventually break you?
