Nakuru, Kenya:  Worshipers at the African Inland Church Milimani in Nakuru were stranded yesterday morning after they found the main gate to the church locked by security guards following a court tussle.

Ten police officers armed with a court order had arrived at the church ahead of the Morning Prayer service and pinned the order on the gate before leaving. The guards then chained the gate and turned worshippers away.
