OccupyGh.com has sighted a post on social media indicating that an alleged 15-year-old juvenile has been sentenced to a senior correctional centre for stealing.
According to the post, Adom pleads not guilty, and that his nephew was the one that was involved in the crime.
The post goes further to explained that Adom is just a 15-year-old boy and whatever the case, shouldn’t serve his sentence in a senior correction centre.
The post from Sharing Gh on Facebook reads;
“Justice for Adom: Please Read;
Adom says he will be 15 years old in 3 months but he says the policeman who handled his case wrote 18 as his age.

Unfortunately, his parents who would have clarified matters are both dead. He has been convicted for two years for stealing but the little boy says his nephew rather did it. Whatever the situation, our interest has to do with his age.
If he is indeed a juvenile, as it appears he is, then our laws do not allow the imprisonment of juveniles in walled prisons. Rather, it makes provision for such kids to be sent to a Senior Correctional Centre.
Unfortunately, we have such kids in our country’s prisons, all because some unscrupulous and corrupt police officers allegedly inflate the ages of these children. Too bad! Like Sharing Gh as we follow up on this story.”
