Nigerians Demand Action Against Canada-Based Woman Accused Of Inciting Violence

Concerned Nigerians have flooded the internet, calling for the arrest of a Canada-based Nigerian woman, Amaka Patience Sunnberger, and her accomplices after she allegedly incited violence against other Nigerians during a social media interaction. PUNCH Metro observed that on Wednesday, Nigerians from various walks of life expressed shock and outrage on social media after a viral TikTok video showed Sunnberger and others advocating for the poisoning of Nigerians of Yoruba and Benin descent……CONTINUE READING 

Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Director-General of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), addressed the issue on her X.com handle, revealing that multiple Nigerian groups had reported the matter to Canadian authorities. Dabiri-Erewa identified Sunnberger and noted that she had deleted her TikTok account following the backlash. She confirmed that Nigerians in Canada were taking formal steps to report her to the relevant authorities.

In the now-viral video, Sunnberger can be heard instructing others in a social media space to poison the food and water of Yoruba and Benin people. She ranted in Pidgin English, saying, “It is time to start poisoning the Yoruba and the Benin. Poison their food and water. I will poison your food and water… I want Ndigbo to get that heart of wickedness. You are too quiet and cool. Enough is enough.” Other participants in the space were reportedly cheering her on.

The disturbing content of the video has led to widespread calls for the immediate arrest of Sunnberger and her accomplices, with many fearing they might follow through on the threats if not apprehended. An X.com user, @DAMIADENUGA, who shared the video, warned Nigerians in Canada to stay vigilant and take precautions. Another user, @AmodaOgunlere, stressed that everyone involved in the TikTok live session should be tracked down and held accountable.

Supporting these calls, @AbiolaKujore expressed shock that the other participants in the video supported Sunnberger’s statements. Meanwhile, @Lekanarsenal reassured Nigerians that authorities had begun investigating the incident, promising that all those involved would be identified and held responsible.

In response to the video, other Nigerians urged an end to all forms of bigotry and called for the same level of condemnation and legal action whenever similar hateful remarks are made by individuals from other ethnic groups. Reflecting on a similar case, PUNCH Metro referenced a 2022 report where a 45-year-old Nigerian, Adeyinka Shoyemi, was sentenced to four and a half years in prison in the UK for inciting racial hatred and promoting violence in Nigeria through inflammatory online messages.
