Atiku slams Sunnberger’s threat against Yoruba, Edo in Canada, praises moves by House of Reps, NiDCOM

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has joined the chorus of condemnation against Amaka Sunnberger’s hateful threats directed at Yoruba and Edo people residing in Canada.

Sunnberger allegedly made disturbing comments on TikTok, stating her intention to harm Yoruba and Edo individuals in Canada by poisoning them.

Earlier, two committees of the House of Representatives submitted a petition to the Canadian government, urging the prosecution of Sunnberger for her incendiary comments.

This move follows widespread outrage and calls for action against Sunnberger’s threatening statements.

He said: “The contentious virtual chat room clip, wherein participants made threats of ethnic cleansing against the Yorubas and Benin people, is unequivocally condemned in all aspects.

“I am informed that the identities of those involved have been disclosed and that calls have been made to the pertinent law enforcement agencies in Canada to prosecute the offenders.

“In this regard, I commend the House of Representatives and the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission for their prompt and decisive action in addressing this incendiary rhetoric and preempting further escalation.

“This disconcerting episode underscores, once again, the imperative of uniting our people and our nation.

“Our rich diversity is our most cherished national asset and must be vigilantly protected.”
