I cant be arrested, deported – Canada-based Nigerian who threatened Yoruba, Benin people

Amaka Patience Sunnberger, a Canada-based Nigerian woman, has boldly dismissed the possibility of her arrest or deportation after a wave of outrage followed her inflammatory comments targeting Yoruba and Benin people during a TikTok livestream.

The comments, which were widely condemned, have led to calls for her prosecution by Canadian authorities.

In response to the backlash, which included a formal request for investigation by the Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Sunnberger took to social media to assert her belief that her Canadian citizenship shields her from any legal consequences. She emphasized that Canada’s legal system operates differently from Nigeria’s, suggesting that she is protected from arbitrary arrest or deportation.

The situation has sparked intense debate online, with many calling for accountability, while Sunnberger’s defiant stance has only added fuel to the controversy.

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?.”
