However, the secret police refused to give reasons for picking 10 media houses while barring others from covering the trial.
The trial of the IPOB leader continues today, June 26, at the Abuja High Court.
Kanu is facing an 11-count charge of treason, treasonable felony, terrorism and illegal possession of firearms, among others.
Recall that the Biafra leader was reportedly rearrested in Kenya and extradited back to Nigeria on the 27th of June, 2021.
The secessionist was then arraigned before Justice Binta Nyako who ordered his remand in the custody of the DSS until his next trial date which is July 26 and 27.
