This follows the absence of Bello in court for his arraignment on Tuesday.
He was absent from court for his arraignment on a 19-count charge of alleged money laundering to the tune of ₦84bn.
The judge relied on section 384 sub sections for 4 and 5 of the Administrative and Criminal Justice Act 2015, directing the counsel to the immediate past governor, to receive a copy of the charge.
The court held that where it had become impossible to effect personal service of a legal process on a defendant, such could be done through substituted means.
