Police Inspector, Uelese Lolo, yesterday pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of a dangerous weapon.
Suspended from work, Inspector Lolo’s new lawyer, Diana Roma, entered the plea before District Court Judge, Her Honour Mata Tuatagaloa.
The 50-year-old initially faced five charges. But he has continued to protest his innocence against three other charges, including charges of corruption.

Lolo is a former warden at Tafa’igata Prison. The alleged incidents, which resulted in the charges against Inspector Lolo, happened at Tafai’gata Prison.
Earlier on during the hearing, he entered a not guilty plea. His lawyer gave no reasons for the change in plea yesterday.
But Mrs. Roma sought for an adjournment so that she could have more time to study the case.
She told the Court that she had just received Lolo’s file from her learned colleague last week.
As a result, Judge Tuatagaloa ordered an adjournment for the 7th of May for the hearing of evidence. Inspector Lolo continues to be out on bail.
