FG identifies woman threatening to kill Nigerians living in Canada in viral video

The federal government has identified a Canada-based woman who allegedly made threats against fellow Nigerians living in North America.

In a video circulating on X (formerly Twitter) and obtained by *The Nation*, a woman’s voice can be heard making anti-Yoruba comments during what seems to be a virtual meeting on TikTok.

The woman, speaking primarily in Pidgin English, made inflammatory remarks that have sparked concern among Nigerians abroad.

On Wednesday, August 28, the chairman of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, revealed the identity of 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.”
