Amaka Sonnberger, a Canada-based Nigerian woman, is facing serious legal consequences after being arrested by Toronto Police on September 1, 2024, for allegedly making hate-motivated threats against Nigerians of Yoruba and Benin descent. According to PUNCH Metro, Sonnberger, who is set to appear in court on September 2, 2024, could face a two-year prison sentence or deportation if found guilty.
The charges against Sonnberger are based on Section 319 (1a) of the Canadian Criminal Code, which criminalizes public incitement of hatred that could lead to a breach of peace. This law carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison for those convicted of an indictable offense.

Further investigations by PUNCH Metro reveal that the potential consequences for Sonnberger extend beyond imprisonment. If she is convicted as a migrant, particularly if she holds temporary or permanent resident status in Canada, she could face deportation. This information aligns with guidelines outlined in the “Migrants Know Your Rights Guide” published by the International Human Rights Programme at the University of Ontario and other advocacy groups.
The guide specifies that any migrant in Canada who receives a prison sentence exceeding six months may be at risk of deportation, particularly if the crime is classified as serious. Sonnberger’s case has drawn significant attention due to the nature of the allegations, which stem from a TikTok video where she allegedly called for violence against members of the Yoruba and Benin communities.
As the legal process unfolds, the outcome of Sonnberger’s case will be closely watched, given the implications it holds for hate speech and migrant rights in Canada.
