Mugithi star and police officer Samuel ‘Samidoh’ Muchoki has broken his silence following his recent transfer to Baringo County, with a cryptic post on social media that has sparked intense speculation among fans.
Taking to Facebook, the singer shared a photo of himself standing beside a British police vehicle, dressed casually in a tracksuit, sneakers, and sunglasses, flashing a wide smile.
“When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty! – Thomas Jefferson,” he captioned the post.
The post quickly drew reactions from netizens, who flocked to the comment section in a bid to decode the message.
James Jymmoh responded playfully, “According to Ohm’s law… Resistance is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to current.”
Danson Stima offered unsolicited advice: “Discipline forces were trained to obey the chain of command and to be disciplined at all time. You are going contrary, Officer, it’s high time you hang up your boots and be a blogger.”
Leon Gachegua simply asked, “How can you suddenly become clever?”
A quick online search reveals that the quote, attributed to Thomas Jefferson, suggests that when those in power create or enforce laws that are unjust, it is not only the right but the responsibility of citizens to oppose them.
Samidoh’s cryptic post comes just days after his reassignment from the Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU) headquarters in Gilgil to the rugged terrains of Baringo County.
The move by the National Police Service has been widely interpreted as a disciplinary response following the viral circulation of his “Wantam” performance.
In the now-infamous clip, Samidoh is seen energising a crowd chanting “Wantam”, a slang derivative of “one term,” which has become a rallying cry for critics of President William Ruto ahead of the 2027 elections.
While a source confirmed the transfer to The Standard, they downplayed any political link to the move.
“I wouldn’t say there is any basis. Normally, police are transferred to serve anywhere within the borders of this country,” the source said.
Samidoh had previously faced backlash after being spotted among Kikuyu musicians in a delegation visiting Deputy President Kithure Kindiki at his Karen residence.
The meeting drew sharp criticism from former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who labelled the artists as “traitors” to the Mt. Kenya community. He went on to urge fans to unfollow the musicians in protest.
The boycott call led to a wave of fallout; gospel singer Ngaruiya Junior reportedly lost subscribers, Samidoh faced public heckling, and unverified claims emerged that musician 90K Kamsoh had donated his earnings in a show of loyalty.
