- Reacting to the calls for her prosecution, she said a Canadian citizenship shields her from possible arrest of even deportation
Canada-based Nigerian woman, Amaka Patience Sunnberger, who made incendiary remarks calling for the mass poisoning of Yoruba and Benin people, has scoffed at the clamour for her deportation.
The Nigerian House of Representatives had on Wednesday written to Canadian authorities demanding that action be taken against Sunnberger for inciting violence and genocide against particular group.
Reacting to the calls for her prosecution, she said a Canadian citizenship shields her from possible arrest of even deportation.
In a viral video clip that started trending on X.com on Thursday, Sunnberger stated that Canada’s legal system is unlike Nigeria’s, where arrests can be made without questioning.
She said, “Somebody just send me message, say them arrest me, say them wan deport me, with passport? I be Canada pikin.
“See am now, I dey house, why I go dey lie?
This comes after a video clip surfaced on Tuesday, showing her making harmful comments against Yoruba and Benin people during a virtual meeting on TikTok.
The woman, claiming to be a resident of Ontario, Canada, vowed to harm Yoruba or Benin individuals she encounters, sparking uproar and prompting the House of Representatives to demand her prosecution.
The House of Representatives has written to the Canadian government, urging it to investigate and prosecute Sunnberger for her inciting comments, which it said violate international and Canadian laws.
