Medikal was subsequently convicted on his own plea by the court presided over by Mr Emmanuel Essandoh.
Medikal had earlier pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The court was expected to rule on an application filed by Medikal’s lawyers to order the police to release the Ruger nine-millimeter pistol belonging to the musician.
