He also pleaded guilty to possession of heroin with intent to supply on the same date.
He pleaded not guilty to possession of a machete on the same date and obstructing a police officer and prosecutor Peter Gair said these pleas were acceptable to the prosecution. He said there was a 'significant' quantity of class A drugs involved.
Andrew Oliver, for Sulaiman asked for reports, given the youth of the defendant.
Judge Anthony Bate adjourned the case for reports and remanded Sulaiman in custody. Sentencing will be on April 9.
