The 46-year-old was arrested on Sunday and will appear in a Toronto court on Monday.
The development was confirmed by the police in a post made on its official X page.
The statement read partly, “The Toronto police service is making the public aware of an arrest made in a suspected hate-motivated threatening investigation.
“On Sunday, September 1, 2024, Toronto Police arrested Amaka Sonnberger, 46, of Toronto.”
Recall that Sonnberger, in an online post, issued threats to poison and kill members of the Yoruba and Edo ethnic communities, while also urging natives of Southeast Nigeria to do the same.
Reacting to her threat, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM) petitioned Honourable Patrick Brown, Mayor of Brampton, Canada, regarding the issue.
In the letter dated August 28, 2024, addressed to the mayor, the Chairman of NiDCOM, Dr Abike Dabiri-Erewa, disclosed that “Mrs Amaka Patience Sonnberger, is a disability support worker in Brampton.”
Erewa stated that it is worrisome that someone who works with one of the most vulnerable demographics in society made such a comment, adding that she may pose a danger to the vulnerable people she works with and needs to be investigated, checked, and stopped for the good of society.
