NAIROBI, Kenya – Police authorities have declared Anti-Stock Theft Unit officer Samuel Ndirangu Muchoki, popularly known as Samidoh, a deserter and issued orders for his immediate arrest following his unexplained absence from duty.
The National Police Service announced the decision after the officer failed to report back from leave granted on May 27, 2025.

The memo, dated June 6, 2025, formally declared him a deserter effective June 5.
Police have directed the Pay Section to suspend Samidoh’s salary immediately and instructed the Stockpol Nairobi office to circulate his details in the national police gazette.

The memo, signed by Assistant Chief Henry Murage, emphasizes the need for swift action to apprehend the missing officer.
Authorities have not disclosed the reasons behind his disappearance.
The development has raised concerns within the police force about maintaining discipline and accountability among officers.
The public has been urged to report any information regarding Samidoh’s whereabouts to the nearest police station.
