A video circulating on X.com since Tuesday features a woman, identified as residing in Ontario, Canada, making anti-Yoruba statements during a TikTok meeting. In the video, she pledged to bring poisonous substances to her workplace to harm any Yoruba or Benin people she encounters, claiming her threats were a reaction to perceived “hate” against the Igbo.

Federal lawmakers Biodun Omoleye and Tochukwu Chinedu Okere, who signed the letter, expressed serious concerns about Sunnberger’s inflammatory statements, which they argue threaten the safety and lives of numerous Nigerians.

The letter states, “On behalf of the Nigeria-Canada Parliamentary Friendship Group and the House Committee on Diaspora Matters, we are deeply alarmed by Ms. Amaka Patience Sunnberger’s statements, which incite violence against the Yoruba and Edo ethnic groups. Her call for poisoning and violence constitutes a grave threat to millions of Nigerians and violates several international, Canadian, and Ontario laws.”

It highlights Sunnberger’s breaches of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, and the Criminal Code of Canada. The lawmakers are calling for a prompt and thorough investigation, prosecution under Canadian law, a public condemnation of her actions, and cooperation with Nigerian authorities to prevent further violence.

The letter concludes with specific requests for:
– **Investigation**: Immediate and thorough examination of Sunnberger’s actions by Canadian authorities.
– **Prosecution**: Legal action against Sunnberger under relevant sections of the Criminal Code of Canada.
– **Public Denouncement**: A public statement by the Canadian government condemning her actions.
– **Collaboration with Nigerian Authorities**: Coordination with Nigerian officials to prevent potential violence escalation and ensure justice.
