JUST IN: Reps Send Strong Letter To Canadian Govt, Reveal What To Do To Woman Who Threatened To Kill Nigerians (Documents)

The House of Representatives has called on the Canadian government to investigate and prosecute Amaka Patience Sunnberger, a Nigerian resident in Canada, for making threatening comments against Nigerians of Yoruba and Benin descent.

In a video trending on X.com, a woman’s voice, allegedly Sunnberger’s, was heard during a TikTok meeting making anti-Yoruba comments. She claimed to be a resident of Ontario, Canada, and threatened to “take poisonous substances to her workplace” to harm any Yoruba or Benin person she encountered, in response to the “hate” against the Igbo.

In a letter signed by federal lawmakers Biodun Omoleye and Tochukwu Chinedu Okere, the House expressed deep concern over Sunnberger’s inflammatory statements, describing them as a “direct threat to the lives and safety of millions of Nigerians.” The letter emphasized that Sunnberger’s recorded statements, which include advocating “the poisoning of food and water supplies to achieve mass genocide,” violate international, Canadian, and Ontario laws.

The lawmakers highlighted Sunnberger’s violations of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, and the Criminal Code of Canada. They requested an immediate investigation, stating, “An immediate and thorough investigation should be conducted into Ms. Sunnberger’s actions by Canadian law enforcement and appropriate authorities.”

They further urged her prosecution, stating, “We urge that Ms. Sunnberger be prosecuted under the relevant sections of the Criminal Code of Canada to hold her accountable for her incitement to genocide and hate speech.” The letter also called for a public condemnation of her actions by the Canadian government to “reaffirm Canada’s commitment to combatting hate speech, violence, and genocide.”

Lastly, they requested collaboration with Nigerian authorities to “prevent any potential escalation of violence as a result of Ms. Sunnberger’s incitement, and to ensure that justice is served.”
