Aminu, a resident of Anguwan Tana in Yola North LGA, was arraigned before the court by the police prosecutor, Inspector Ahmed Abubakar.
He pleaded guilty to the charges brought against him, after which the prosecutor called a witness who corroborated his plea.
The court subsequently sentenced him to eight years in prison without an option of fine.
