Famed Ghanaian actress, Nadia Buari, has expressed her profound sorrow over the tragic loss of two young girls, Maame Dwomoh Boateng and Justine Agbenu, who died in a horrific accident involving Elrad Amoako, son of Bishop Salifu Amoako.
In an emotional post on Instagram on Monday, October 21, 2024, she lamented, “What a tragedy! I can’t believe this happened to these beautiful little girls.”
It will be recalled that the tragic accident occurred on Saturday, October 12, 2024, when Elrad crashed into their Acura car with his mother’s Jaguar SUV in East Legon, resulting in a devastating fire.
Reflecting on the pain of losing a child, the actress wrote, “The loss of any child anywhere is the loss of a future everywhere.”
Her heartfelt message resonated deeply, especially as she emphasized the bond between mothers and their children.
“Can a mother leave her children? Certainly not! But the painful thing here is that, as the mother cannot leave her children, in this regrettable condition, the children have left their mothers. As a mother, I can deeply relate with the mothers of these kids and what they may be going through by now.”

The celebrated actress expressed her condolences to the families and shared how, as a mother, she could relate to their pain and suffering.
“As a mother, I can deeply relate with the mothers of these kids and what they may be going through by now. It is too painful to remember and too painful to forgive.”
