The pictures, according to the police, were allegedly taken by a nurse at the Salaga Government Hospital, who is currently on the run and is being sought by the police.
The convict, Yusif Yunuf, who was arrested at Salaga on March 8, 2016, pleaded guilty to the charge of circulating obscene materials.
A memory card containing the pictures was also retrieved from Yunuf after his arrest by the police.
Facts
The Northern Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Mr Ebenezer Tetteh, who briefed the Daily Graphic, said the convict was arrested following a tip-off.
He said when Yunuf was arrested he told the police that he chanced on the memory card containing the pictures on the ground while he was returning home after prayers and forwarded the pictures to others via social media.
Mr Tetteh said the convict was also suspected to be behind the escape of the nurse, Evans Okyere, also known as Mubarak, the prime suspect behind the pictures and videos.
He said the convict in his statement to the police confessed to the crime and was charged with the offence.
