Popular Kikuyu secular musician and police officer Samidoh has left his fans and friends deeply concerned after posting—and later deleting—a cryptic message on his Facebook page that hinted at death.
The message, which was published late last night, raised alarms with many speculating whether the singer is facing threats, possibly due to his outspoken political views.
Samidoh has publicly supported Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and has used his musical platform to criticize politicians opposed to him.
The post read in part: “In case I die unexpectedly, or before my time, I want you to know that I’ve lived a full and good life. Allah gave me an opportunity to travel the world, see nature at its best, and meet incredible people I was fortunate enough to share a moment with. Let the world remember my name not just as a combination of letters but as a heart that burned with a flame.”
He continued: “If I die young, remember the dreams we chased together—dreams of a better life not just for ourselves but for future generations. If you ever miss me, look at the stars. I’ll be there, shining brightly, reminding you to live passionately, chase your dreams, and cherish those around you. Also, remember to tell mama I did my best.”
Samidoh’s cryptic message he later deleted.
Shortly after posting the message, Samidoh wished his estranged wife, Edday Nderitu—who resides in the U.S.—a happy birthday, prompting speculation that his emotional state may have been influenced by personal matters.
Concerned friends and fans quickly reached out to him. Sources indicate they were able to contact him and persuaded him to delete the post.
Musician Wanja Asali, also known as “Mtoto wa Kiambu,” commented on the incident:
“Samidoh, HSC, wacha kutupea pressure. Washa simu penye uko. Hope you are well. May God protect you.”
The singer is also a police officer.
The emotional post, though removed, continues to stir concern among those close to Samidoh and his fanbase, many of whom are calling for prayers and support for the singer during what appears to be a turbulent time in his life.
