The Office of the Chief Justice (OCJ) has officially refuted a fraudulent notice circulating online that falsely attributes a ban on a June 30th protest to Chief Justice Mandisa Maya. The OCJ clarified that the notice, dated May 24, 2026, and featuring a doctored image and signature of Maya, is a fabrication designed to spread misinformation. The office strongly condemned this act of disinformation, emphasizing that it does not represent the views of Chief Justice Maya or the judiciary, and urged the public to refrain from disseminating the fake declaration.
