NiDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa
The Federal Government has disclosed the identity of a Canada-based woman who allegedly threatened to kill fellow Nigerians living in the North American country.
In a video clip circulating on X (formerly Twitter) obtained by The Nation, a woman’s voice is heard making anti-Yoruba comments in what appears to be a virtual meeting on TikTok.
The woman spoke mainly in Pidgin English.
The chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa on Wednesday, August 28, identified the woman as Amaka Patience Sunnberger.
She 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 and poison any Yoruba or Benin person she came across.
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 want 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 said she was a resident of 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.” (The Nation: Text, Excluding Headline)
