Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has lent his voice to condemning Amaka Sunnberger’s threats against Yoruba and Edo people in Canada.
Sunnberger allegedly made comments on TikTok stating that she plans to poison Yoruba and Edo people in Canada.
Newspot reported that two committees of the House of Representatives have also submitted a petition to the Canadian government seeking the prosecution of Sunnberger.
In a post on his X handle on Thursday, Atiku said he unequivocally condemned Sunnberger’s action in all aspects.
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.”
