Nigeria House of Reps Writes to Canada, Seeks Prosecution of Nigerian Woman for Ethnic Hate Speech

The Nigerian House of Representatives has called on the Canadian government to investigate and prosecute Patience Amaka Sunnberger for threatening mass violence against Nigerian ethnic groups. The House emphasizes the need for international cooperation to prevent potential escalation and uphold human rights in line with Canadian and international law.

The Nigerian House of Representatives has officially reached out to the Canadian government regarding the actions of Patience Amaka Sunnberger, a Nigerian woman residing in Canada. Sunnberger recently made alarming threats against Nigerian citizens, specifically targeting the Yoruba and Edo ethnic groups.

In her statements, she advocated for the poisoning of food and water supplies to incite mass violence, amounting to genocide. These actions have sparked outrage, prompting the House of Representatives to urge the Canadian authorities to conduct a thorough investigation and prosecute Sunnberger under relevant Canadian laws. The House also requested collaboration between Canadian and Nigerian authorities to prevent any potential escalation of violence.

This incident threatens the strong bilateral relationship between Canada and Nigeria, both of which value human rights and the rule of law. The Nigerian government hopes that swift action will be taken to address this serious issue and ensure justice.
