Aare Oladotun Hassan, President of the Yoruba Council Worldwide, has condemned threats made by Amaka Sonnberger, a Canada-based woman, against Nigerians of Yoruba and Benin descent.
In a video clip that began circulating on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, Sonnberger’s voice was heard making derogatory remarks about Yoruba and Benin people during a virtual meeting on TikTok. She spoke in Pidgin English and issued threats to poison these communities.

In a petition to the Inspector General of Police on Friday, Hassan called for the probe of the lady. He wrote: “Sir, as the foremost Yoruba indigenous apex interest group, representing the voice of Yoruba people in Nigeria and across the globe, we write to bring to your notice and as well inform your esteemed office, the viral life -threatening video circulating online of a Nigerian woman residing in Canada, who had recently declared violence and called for the mass killing of our people; the Yoruba and Edo indigenous people of Nigeria.
“The said woman known as Mrs. Amaka Patience Sonnberger who apparently lives in Brampton Canada has been investigated and discovered to be a disability support worker in Brampton, Canada.
Surprisingly, It is worrisome that someone who works with one of the most vulnerable demographic in the society can make such a terroristic comment as she may be a dangerous ambassador to the vulnerable people she works with being a Nigerian-Canadian, and most importantly can be a link to terrorist groups here in Nigeria.
