The Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, has unveiled the identity of a Canada-based woman who openly threatened to kill fellow Nigerians of Yoruba and Benin (Edo State) stock living in the North American country.
In a video clip circulating on X, a woman’s voice is heard making anti-Yoruba, anti-Benin comments in what appears to be a virtual meeting on TikTok.
Dabiri-Erewa, on Wednesday, August 28, identified the woman as Amaka Patience Sunnberger.
The woman, who spoke mainly in Pidgin English, said: “Record me very well; it’s time to start poisoning the Yoruba and the Benin. Put poison for all una food for work. Put poison for una water, make una dey kpai one by one”.
The woman vowed that she would take poisonous substances to her workplace in her Ontario, Canada base, and poison any Yoruba or Benin person working there.
She claimed that her comment was in response to the “hate” against the Igbo. Some other voices could be heard, interjecting and prodding her.
“I wan make Ndi Igbo get that heart of wickedness. Una too dey quiet,” the woman said, addressing other participants. “Enough is enough! If you have any means of kpaing them, kpai them commot for road.”
The woman claims to reside in Ontario, Canada, and dared anyone to report her to the Canadian authorities.
“This is the picture of the lady behind the voice. Amaka Patience Sunnberger,” the Nigerian government official said.
“She has deleted her TikTok account, and a group of Nigerians in Canada are reporting her officially to the relevant authorities in Canada.”
