Some one week after Head of the National Frequency Management Unit, Valmiki Singh, seized a piece of electronic equipment from Mark Benschop’s South Ruimveldt home charges are still being prepared.
This is according to the NFMU’s head, who spoke with this newspaper.
Singh said he is not sure what the exact charges would be but that it would be related to Benschop’s squatting on the NFMU’s frequency.
When asked where the piece of equipment which was being kept Singh declined to comment. He also would not say whether it was with the NFMU or the Guyana Police Force. He only said it was being kept by the ‘authorities’.
A week ago the NFMU head and jeep loads of police swarmed down on Benschop home with a search warrant.
Singh had stated that Benschop had been illegally squatting on the airwaves via the 99.9 frequency.
However despite being advised by Benschop’s lawyer that the search warrant was not properly made out, Singh, accomoanied by the police, carried out the search.
And while the search was being carried out Benschop was made to sit in the back of a police vehicle. He had been arrested for obstructing the Head of NMFU from carrying out the search.
Using crowbar in the presence of attorney at law Nigel Hughes, the official proceeded to break down a door and entered Benschop’s house.
Benschop has been operating an online radio station for several months and only recently began transmitting on the 99.9 frequency.
