A Canada-based Nigerian woman, Amaka Patience Sunnberger, has laughed off those calling for her arrest or deportation over an alleged inciteful message against the Yoruba and Benin people.
Recall that the woman was heard in trending clips, urging Igbos to begin mass poisoning and killing of Yoruba and Benin people.
She said: “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.
“I want to make Ndi Igbo get that heart of wickedness. Una too dey quiet.”
The middle-aged woman also vowed to take poisonous substances to her workplace and harm any Yoruba or Benin person she came across.
The threat triggered reactions by many Nigerians, including the federal government and House of Representatives.
In its reaction, the chairman of the House Representatives Committee on Diaspora Matters urged the Canadian government to prosecute her for inciting violence and genocide.
Similarly, the chairman and chief executive officer of the Nigerian Diaspora Commission, NiDCOM, said some Nigerians based in Canada will file a formal complaint against her.
However, reacting to the calls for her deportation and arrest, Mrs Sunnberger cited her Canadian citizenship as protection, stating that Canada’s legal system is unlike Nigeria’s, where arrests could be made without questioning.
She said: “Somebody just send me a 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?
