Saturday, August 31, 2024 - A Nigerian woman residing in Canada, Amaka Sunnberger, is currently under investigation by the Toronto Police Service for threatening to poison Nigerians of Yoruba and Benin descent.
The alarming threat has sparked
outrage and prompted swift action from both Nigerian and Canadian authorities.
Sergeant Bassey Osagie, a
representative of the Toronto Police Service, confirmed that the matter is
being taken seriously. "This incident has been reported to the Toronto
Police Service and is currently under investigation," Osagie told Punch.
The situation escalated after the
Nigerian House of Representatives, along with the Nigerians in Diaspora
Commission (NIDCOM), formally petitioned the Canadian authorities. They are
demanding a thorough investigation and the prosecution of Sunnberger for her
inflammatory remarks, which have caused widespread concern within the Nigerian
community both in Canada and abroad.
