The order was issued by Justice Emeka Nwite in response to an EFCC motion for substituted service on Bello.
Kemi Pinheiro, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria and the anti-graft agency's lead lawyer, presented the application.
Bello, the immediate former governor of Kogi State, was represented by his attorney but was not present in court on Tuesday.
A bench warrant was issued by Justice Nwite last week against Bello in response to an EFCC's application to that effect.
According to reports, the bench warrant was in conflict with a legitimate order from the Kogi State High Court that prevented the former governor from being arrested or detained until the matter was resolved through notice.
