    No, It will not show John Teller distortion. Here Ni is in +4 Oxidation state. So despite the fact that F- is a weak ligand , F will pair up the electrons. Hence there will no unpaired electron and it becomes a low spin d6 system. So for a low spin d6 system, there will be no John teller distortion.
