He gave the admonition in an announcement denying giving an order for the exchange of a House of Representatives political decision request case in Delta State from the Panel 3 to Panel 2 of the National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal.
The admonition was contained in the announcement by the Director of Press and Information, Supreme Court, Dr. Festus Akande.
It was alluding to a case between the part speaking to Bomadi/Patani Federal Constituency in the National Assembly, Nicholas Mutu, whose political decision is being tested, and Collins Eselomo, the solicitor.
Eselemo of the All Progressives Congress, had prior in June 2019 appealed to the CJN mentioning the exchange of the case to another board of the council over supposed legal unfortunate behavior in the treatment of his case by the board initially hearing it.
The CJN said he never gave any letter for the exchange of the case, while he cautioned of desperate outcomes against lie sellers.
He charged individuals from the open "especially government officials, to consistently maintain propriety and regard, particularly when making profound claims and hints of that nature, as the outcomes are constantly critical and sweeping".
The announcement read to a limited extent, "The workplace of the Chief Justice of Nigeria has never whenever given a letter or question of any kind with such data to the said board and if at all such Information were to be imparted, we have our settled authority channel to do it.
"We in this way order individuals from people in general, especially legislators, to consistently maintain respectability and regard, particularly when making profound claims and suggestions of that nature, as the outcomes are constantly desperate and sweeping.
For the umpteenth time, gossip mongers and vendors of malignant data should try to apply alert and toe the way of respect and pride.
"Anyone found spreading such deceptive and destructive data will unquestionably be made to confront the full weight of the law to fill in as obstacle to the few other people who are standing by enthusiastically in the line to manage their own portion of irresistible lie on the clueless open."
