The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCom) has disclosed the identity of a Nigerian woman residing in Ontario, Canada, after she appeared in a disturbing video urging the mass poisoning of Yoruba and Benin people. The woman, identified as Amaka Patience Sunnberger, is reportedly of Igbo descent.
The video, which surfaced online on August 28, 2024, shows Sunnberger speaking in Pidgin English, encouraging people from Nigeria’s South-East, also known as the Igbos, to poison Yoruba people from the South-West and Benin people from the South-South. She expressed her hatred towards them, stating her intentions to begin poisoning food and water supplies at her workplace. Sunnberger threatened prolonged illness and suffering rather than instant death for her targets.
As the video gained traction online, a group of Nigerians in Canada started reporting her to relevant authorities. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman of NiDCom, confirmed Sunnberger’s identity and reported that she had deleted her TikTok account. The case is now under investigation by Canadian authorities.
NiDCom has called for further action from the authorities and thanked those who brought the video to its attention.
