She stated that the incident was unintentional, highlighting the unpredictable nature of accidents and asking Ghanaians to remember the pain felt by Elrad's parents.
The accident, which took place on October 12, 2024, involved a Jaguar SUV owned by Elrad Amoako's mother, crashing into an Acura vehicle, igniting a severe fire.
The blaze tragically resulted in the deaths of 12-year-olds Justine Agbenu and Maame Dwomoh Boateng, whose lives were cut short.
Following the crash, Salifu Amoako, his wife, and another individual faced charges of permitting an unlicensed driver to operate the vehicle.
In her remarks, Salma Mumin stated that the boy did not use a gun in taking the lives of the kids, which was seen by some as minimising the seriousness of the young girls' deaths.
Her comments have not been well-received by many, with critics calling her stance insensitive.
