JUST-IN: A judge orders a lawyer to provide substitute service for former governor Bello.

 

Fresh charges in the N80 billion fraud case brought by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) against former Kogi State governor Yahaya Bello through his attorney Abdulwahab Mohammed were ordered to be served by the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday.


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.
