I’m a Canadian citizen, nobody can arrest me—Patience Sunnberger who threatened to poison sections of Nigerians boasts

Amaka Patience Sunnberger, the Nigerian woman who threatened to poison any Yoruba and Edo descent she came across in Canada has boasted that nothing can happen to her as she is a Canadian citizen.

Recall that Amaka, on Tuesday was heard making anti-Yoruba comments during a virtual meeting on TikTok which has gone viral online.

She claimed her comments were in response to the “hate” against the Igbo.

In yet another viral audio clip, Amaka while speaking in a Tiktok space dismissed claims that she has been arrested and will be deported.

‘’Somebody just sent me a message saying they have arrested me and are about to deport me. With my passport? I am a Canadian. Mad people!” she said while laughing

She showed a video of her living room to prove she was at home and not in police custody.

Meanwhile, the House of Representatives committee on diaspora matters has urged the Canadian authorities to prosecute her for “hate speech”.

The request was contained in a letter jointly signed by Tochukwu Okere, chairman of the committee; and Biodun Omoleye, chairman of Nigeria-Canada Parliamentary Friendship Group

The letter by the Diaspora committee reads, “On behalf of the Nigeria-Canada Parliamentary Friendship Group and the House Committee on Diaspora Matters, we are writing to express our deep concern regarding the actions of Ms. Amaka Patience Sunnberger, a Nigerian citizen residing in Canada.

“Ms. Sunnberger has recently been recorded making inflammatory statements that incite violence against the Yoruba and Edo ethnic groups in Nigeria, including advocating the poisoning of food and water supplies to achieve their mass genocide.

“Ms. Sunnberger’s recorded statements constitute a direct threat to the lives and safety of millions of Nigerians. Her incitement to violence and call for genocide through poisoning are not only deeply troubling but also represent a clear violation of multiple international, Canadian, and Ontario laws.

“Such rhetoric is dangerous and has the potential to incite real-world violence, both in Nigeria and within the Nigerian diaspora.”

“In light of the seriousness of these violations, we respectfully request the following actions:

“Investigation: An immediate and thorough investigation should be conducted into Ms. Sunberger’s actions by Canadian law enforcement and appropriate authorities.

“Prosecution: We urge that Ms. Sunberger be prosecuted under the relevant sections of the Criminal Code of Canada to hold her accountable for her incitement to genocide and hate speech.

“Public Denouncement: We request that the Canadian government issue a public condemnation of Ms. Sunberger’s actions to reaffirm Canada’s commitment to combatting ha e speech, violence, and genocide.

“Collaboration with Nigerian Authorities: We also request that Canadian authorities collaborate with Nigerian authorities to prevent any potential escalation of violence as a result of Ms. Sunberger’s incitement, and to ensure that justice is served.”
