‘I Have Canadian Passport, I Can’t Be Deported,’ Boasts Nigerian Woman Who Called For Poisoning Of Yoruba, Edo People, Amaka Sunnberger

Amaka Patience Sunnberger, a Nigerian woman based in Canada whose threats to poison and kill Yoruba and Edo people sparked outrage after going viral, has confidently declared that nothing will happen to her because she is a Canadian citizen.

In a recent viral audio clip, Amaka boasted about her immunity from any repercussions, dismissing rumours of her arrest and potential deportation.

Speaking during a TikTok live session, she said, “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 laughed off the suggestion that she could face deportation, questioning how she could be sent away when she holds a Canadian passport.

To further prove her point, Amaka showed a video of her living room, stating that she was at home and not in police custody, contrary to circulating reports.

Earlier, SaharaReporters reported that the Nigerian House of Representatives had submitted a formal petition to His Excellency James Christoff, the High Commissioner of Canada to Nigeria, concerning Amaka Patience Sunnberger, a Nigerian woman based in Canada.

The petition, dated August 28, 2024, was filed by Mr. Biodun Omoleye, Chairman of the Nigeria-Canada Parliamentary Friendship Group, and Mr. Tochukwu Chinedu Okere, Chairman of the House Committee on Diaspora Matters.

The petition addresses alarming statements made by Sunnberger in a recent TikTok live video, where she incited violence against Yoruba and Benin people.

In the video, Sunnberger called for the poisoning of food and water sources as a means of mass killing and encouraged people from the South-East region of Nigeria or Igbo people, to adopt a militant stance against Yoruba and Benin communities in other regions.

The Nigerian House of Representatives has condemned these actions as incitement to genocide and hate speech.
