Naija News reports that Sunnberger’s remarks, made during a TikTok livestream and later shared on X.com, involved her threatening the Yoruba and Benin people.
Speaking in Pidgin English, she provocatively stated, “Record me very well; it’s time to start poisoning the Yoruba and the Benin. Put poison in all your food at work. Put poison in your water, so that you all die one by one.”
Her comments triggered widespread condemnation, leading prominent figures, including Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, to call for her prosecution by Canadian authorities, citing breaches of both international and Canadian laws.
However, in a bold response on Thursday, Sunnberger claimed that her Canadian citizenship shields her from any legal consequences.
