Toronto Police Service has begun an investigation against Nigerian woman residing in Canada, Amaka Sunnberger for threatening to poison Nigerians of Yoruba and Benin descent.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) had earlier reported that the chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, revealed Amaka Patience Sunnberger’s identity after a video of her raining threats on Yoruba and Edo people went viral.
Sunnberger, during the live TikTok session, threatened to poison Nigerians living in Canada.
She further dared anyone to report her to the Canadian authorities.
The woman, who spoke mainly in Pidgin English, vowed to take poisonous substances to her workplace and poison any Yoruba or Benin person she came across due to the ‘hate’ against Igbos.
Following the viral clip, which sparked an outrage, the Nigerian House of Representatives, along with the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), petitioned the Canadian authorities.
Sergeant Bassey Osagie, a representative of the Toronto Police Service, confirmed that the matter is being taken seriously. “This incident has been reported to the Toronto Police Service and is currently under investigation,” Osagie disclosed.
The Nigerian authories are demanding a thorough investigation and the prosecution of Sunnberger for her inflammatory remarks, which have caused widespread concern within the Nigerian community both in Canada and abroad.
