Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the Chairperson of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, has raised awareness about a troubling incident involving a Nigerian woman in Canada who allegedly threatened to harm other Nigerians residing there.
This situation has caused concern within the Nigerian community, both domestically and internationally.
In a recent update shared online, Dabiri-Erewa disclosed the identity of the woman responsible for these threats.
The woman, identified as Amaka Patience Sunberger, is reportedly the person behind a viral video in which she vowed to kill fellow Nigerians living in Canada.
The post also included a clear picture of Sunberger, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
“This is the picture of the lady behind the voice. Amaka Patience Sunberger. She has deleted her TikTok account and a group of Nigerians in Canada are reporting her officially to the relevant authorities in Canada. Thanks for alerting everyone,” Dabiri-Erewa stated in the release.
According to reports, after the video began circulating widely, Sunberger swiftly deleted her TikTok account, likely in an attempt to avoid backlash and potential legal consequences.
However, the Nigerian community in Canada has taken the matter seriously and is working together to ensure that the threats she made do not go unpunished.
A group of concerned Nigerians in Canada have already taken steps to report Sunberger to the appropriate Canadian authorities.
Their efforts are aimed at ensuring that her threats are thoroughly investigated and that she is held accountable under Canadian law.
This incident has highlighted the vigilance within the diaspora community in addressing issues that could endanger the lives of its members.
Dabiri-Erewa’s quick response and the subsequent actions of the Nigerian community in Canada demonstrate the importance of standing against threats and ensuring the safety and well-being of Nigerians living abroad.
The situation remains under close watch as authorities are expected to take the necessary legal steps against Sunberger.
As the story develops, it serves as a reminder of the power of social media in both spreading and addressing threats, and the critical role of community action in protecting its members from harm.
The Nigerian diaspora, in collaboration with NiDCOM, continues to prioritize the safety of Nigerians worldwide.
