A Nigerian woman, Amaka Sonnberger, has been arrested by the Toronto Police Service for threatening to poison and kill members of the Yoruba and Edo communities in Canada.
Constable Laura Brabant stated that Sonnberger was taken into custody on Sunday, September 1, 2024.
Recall that Nigerian in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) had previously submitted a petition to Honourable Patrick Brown, Mayor of Brampton, regarding Amaka Patience Sonnberger, a Nigerian national living in Canada.
On August 25, 2024, Sonnberger posted threatening content online directed at specific individuals within the Nigerian community.
In response to the petition, Toronto police announced that Sonnberger has been charged with uttering threats. She is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice, located at 2201 Finch Avenue West, on Monday, September 2, 2024, at 10:00 AM in courtroom 107. This arrest is part of a suspected hate-motivated investigation.
