Moro Bashiru, 29, will serve the sentence in hard labour.
He was convicted after he pleaded guilty to stealing when he appeared before Abass Abubakari Adams.
The prosecutor, Sargeant Joseph Boamah, said the complainant is a pharmacy assistant who lived in a bungalow opposite the judge’s residence.

He was whisked to the police station by the complainant for an official complaint.
Subsequently, the police conducted their investigations and the accused was charged with stealing and arraigned for prosecution.
