They also denied delegates of the Igbo Traditional Rulers access to the building.
The traditional rulers are in Abuja in solidarity with the IPOB leader, whose late father was an Eze in Afaraukwu, Umuahia, the Abia State capital.
Kanu, who was brought into the court at about 9:52 am by the DSS, is being tried before Justice Binta Nyako-led court by the Nigerian Government for charges bordering on terrorism.
