Samidoh Officially Resigns from Police Service to Focus on Music Career

Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has confirmed that Mugithi star Samuel Muchoki, popularly known as Samidoh, has formally resigned from the National Police Service after 12 years of service.

Samidoh, who has long juggled his police duties with a flourishing music career, cited personal reasons in his resignation letter, saying he wanted to dedicate himself fully to music.

The singer’s double life as both an entertainer and officer had not been without controversy. His frequent performances and tours occasionally clashed with his police obligations, at one point landing him in trouble with his superiors over desertion charges.

While announcing the development, Inspector General Kanja said the service respected Samidoh’s decision and wished him well in his new path.

“He is free to pursue his passion,” Kanja stated, confirming that the resignation took effect on July 20.

With the exit, Samidoh now shifts his full focus to music, where he has become one of Kenya’s most recognized Mugithi performers, commanding huge crowds both locally and abroad.
