BIGPENNGR understands the restriction was conveyed in an approval letter containing the names of journalists and media houses to cover the trial today Monday, July 26 which has been under circulations on the social media.

The letter which emanated from the Federal High Court of Nigeria, Abuja, mentioned only ten media houses as those approved to have access to the court premises.
