Canada-based Nigerian woman, Amaka Patience Sunnberger, who goes by the name, @Anyi_Anambra7, has dismissed the possibility of her arrest or deportation after the House of Representatives urged the Canadian government to prosecute her for inciting violence and genocide against Yoruba and Benin people.
In a viral video on Thursday, Sunnberger cited her Canadian citizenship as protection, stating that Canada’s legal system is unlike Nigeria’s, where arrests can be made without questioning.
“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?” she said.
This comes after a video clip surfaced online on Wednesday, showing her making threatening comments against Yoruba and Benin people during a TikTok live session.
The woman, said to be a resident of Ontario, Canada, vowed to harm Nigerians of Yoruba and Benin extraction she encounters, sparking outrage and prompting the House of Representatives to request her prosecution in a letter addressed to the Canadian High Commission.
In the letter, the House of Representatives urged the Canadian government to investigate and prosecute Sunnberger for her inciting comments, which it said violate international and Canadian laws.
