Legit.ng recalls that in a TikTok live video clip, a woman with Anyi_Anambra7 as her user ID and account @ehizele123 is heard speaking mainly in Pidgin English.

The virtual meeting had slightly over a hundred people in attendance.

She said:

“Record me, it’s time to start poisoning the meals of the Yorubas and Benin people, poison their food and drinks at work so they can begin to die one by one."

Legit.ng observed that Nigerians from all walks of life took to social media in shock and outrage after a viral video surfaced, showing the woman and other Nigerians calling for the poisoning of Nigerians of Yoruba and Benin descent.

Subsequently, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, the director-general (DG) of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), weighed in on the issue via her X handle. Dabiri-Erewa identified the woman and revealed that several Nigerian groups had brought the matter to the attention of the Canadian authorities.
