Popular Mugithi artist and police officer Samuel Muchoki Ndirangu, known to fans as Samidoh, has been granted anticipatory bail of Sh200,000 by the High Court, blocking his possible arrest upon arrival from the United States today.

While granting the orders, High Court Judge Diana Kavedza said the court was persuaded that the singer's freedom was under imminent threat, noting that a warrant of arrest had been issued while he was overseas - despite official approval for his travel.
