“The commission therefore urges members of the public to disregard the misleading content and refrain from spreading unverified information capable of causing unnecessary public concern and damaging reputations,” the statement read.

“The commission is an agency that has very high regards for not only the honourable Justice James Omotosho but for all judicial Officers in Nigeria.

“ICPC reiterates its commitment to professionalism and due process in the discharge of its statutory mandate and advises the public to rely only on official communication from the commission for accurate information regarding its activities.
