The police charged Mohammed, 52, with theft.
Magistrate Abdullahi Ilelah, gave the order, following a guilty plea entered by Mohammed.
The magistrate adjourned the matter until Sept. 21 for sentencing.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Adama Musa, told the court that the complainant, Sen. Kingibe, who resides in Zangon Daura Estate Kado, Abuja, reported the matter at the Criminal Investigation Department, Abuja, on June 27.
Musa told the court that Mohammed gained access to the complainant’s room, broke her jewellery box and stole gold bangles, necklaces, wristwatches and earrings.
