The prosecution revealed that Nyarko had previously been jailed for stealing a mobile phone at the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice while job hunting.
According to the complainant, a lawyer at the Labour Ministry, Nyarko visited the premises on December 4, 2024, under the pretence of job-seeking but instead entered an unoccupied office and stole an HP laptop worth GHC24,745.
He concealed the device in his backpack and fled the scene.
Following investigations, he was arrested and admitted to selling the stolen laptop in Takoradi.
