He was convicted on his own plea of being guilty on two counts of conspiracy and stealing and the court presided over by Mr Charles Asiedu referred him to a juvenile court for sentencing.
Haruna Issifu and Yakubu Mohammed both unemployed, charged together with him were remanded to re-appear on September 9.
