The accused person who was unrepresented by a lawyer, was earlier charged with a single count of offence of possession of unlicensed firearm.
In his plea of mitigation, the accused urged the court to temper justice with mercy on the grounds that he is a first-time offender.
The prosecution made an application to tender two magazines and also pistol marked Taurus to the Police Intervention Unit (PIU), which was granted by the presiding Magistrate A. Fofana.
