Controversy-ridden Nairobi Central Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) church now plans to move to court to seek orders to open one of its branches that was closed indefinitely by the State.

Through the Central Kenya Conference (CKC) of the SDA, the church has accused the Government of illegally locking out its worshipers from its premises.
