The federal government has identified a Canada-based woman accused of making violent threats against fellow Nigerians in North America.
Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, revealed that the woman is Amaka Patience Sunnberger, a resident of Ontario, Canada.
In a viral video, the woman, speaking in Pidgin English during a virtual meeting, made anti-Yoruba comments and threatened to poison Yoruba and Benin individuals at her workplace.
She said: “Record me very, very well. Time to start poisoning the Yoruba and the Bini. I go put poison for all una food for work, put poison for all una water. Make una dey kpai (die) one by one. Una no go kpai one day o, una go sick, sick, sick.
“I go put otapiapia, This kind hate wey i get for una so, e go last for ever. For all of una food, otapiapia eat and die, snipers – Yes, I go dey put am. If I go work tomorrow, I go put am for Yoruba food.
“I dey Canada, I dey Ontario, go tell government, hurry up. I go put otapiapia, una go her Yoruba don die o, Bini don kpeme, na me talk am. I wan make Ndigbo have that heart of wickedness, una too quiet, una too dey cool, enough. It is enough, if you have a means of killing them, kill them, kpai them commot for road because they too mumu, they are of no use to the society.
Sunnberger claimed her remarks were in retaliation against perceived “hate” towards the Igbo community.
She has since deleted her TikTok account, but a group of Nigerians in Canada is reportedly taking action by informing the relevant Canadian authorities.
