A TORY minister suggested on Tuesday that the mother of a 12-year-old boy arrested by armed officers over a toy gun was overreacting when she expressed fear for her children’s lives.

Mina Agyepong said that she “honestly believed” officers could have shot her daughters during a raid on their north London home at 11pm on July 17.

Her son Kai was handcuffed and restrained after 10 armed officers were sent to the house after a passerby reported seeing a “black male holding a firearm on the sofa.”
