The identity of the woman who threatened to poison fellow Nigerians from the South-Western and Benin, Edo State part of Nigeria living in Canada have been revealed. The Chairman of Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa on Wednesday reacting to the woman’s comment on X uploaded her photo and identified her as Amaka Patience Sunnberger.
“This is the picture of the lady behind the voice. Amaka Patience Sunnberger,” the NIDCOM Chairman said.
“She has deleted her TikTok account, and a group of Nigerians in Canada are reporting her officially to the relevant authorities in Canada.”
The Nigerian woman based in Ontario, Canada, appeared in a disturbing video making the rounds on social media.
In a video clip circulating on X, a woman’s voice is heard making anti-Yoruba comments in what appears to be a virtual meeting on TikTok. The woman spoke mainly in Pidgin English.
“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, later identified by the NIDCOM boss as Amaka Patience Sunnberger, said in the virtual meeting.
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.
It is, however, unclear how many people attended the virtual meeting with 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.
According to Dabiri-Erewa, the woman has since deleted her TikTok account and that a group of Nigerians are officially reporting her to the Canadian authorities.
