Pastor Ezekiel Odero now wants the state blocked from freezing his 16 bank accounts.
The New Life Prayer Centre and Church pastor in court papers filed at the Mombasa High Court also wants the State compiled to reopening his TV station and church.
Through his lawyer Danstan Omari, the Preacher wants the DCI and the inspector general of police blocked from accessing and freezing his accounts.
“In the interim and pending the hearing and determination of this application, this honourable court be pleased to issue a conservatory order temporarily restraining the respondents from taking adverse action against Odero or New Life Prayer Center and Church including the freezing of the church accounts in Cooperative Bank and NCBA bank," court papers seen by the Star read in part.
Justice Olga Sewe on Thursday certified the applications for the three as urgent.
She ruled that after perusing the notice of motion and the affidavit sworn by Odero, she was satisfied that the application was indeed urgent.
She has directed him to serve the application to the respondents and appear in court on Monday next week for an inter-parties hearing.
