I’ll invade Edo, kidnap monarch, rape wife — Yoruba group leader, Gbonka Ebiri threatens
Mr Gbomka Ebiri, the leader of Yoruba First, an organization based in the United States, has vowed to invade Edo State, kidnap their paramount ruler, rape his wife, and chase him to Calabar in Cross River State.
The threat was issued during a social media live meeting by the leader of the group, who is based in Atlanta, Georgia, and whose LinkedIn page indicates that he attended the University of Calicut from 2013 to 2018.
In the vile audio of the live meeting posted on X by a user with the name, @Voiceofigbos, Ebiri said, “I will invade Edo and kidnap your king and have his wife raped and chase him to Calabar like the white people did.”
Meanwhile, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM) has been mum since the threat.
Mr Ebiri’s threat comes amid nationwide outrage generated by a Nigerian woman based in Ontario, Canada, Amaka Patience Sonnberger’s threat and call for mass poisoning of Yoruba and Benin people.
Sonnberger, who made the call in a TikTok live meeting video had vowed to start poisoning Yoruba and Benin people at her place of work.
Her threat stirred a nationwide outrage with the Nigerian House of Representatives and the NiDCOM taking swift actions by writing to the Canadian authorities which led to her arrest.
