It has been more than a month since the Head of the National Frequency Unit, Valmiki Singh seized a piece of electronic equipment from Mark Benschop’s South Ruimveldt home and no charges have been laid.
Yesterday in an invited comment, Mr. Singh said he would have to be advised by his company’s legal minds on the way forward.
On November 8 last, Singh had told this newspaper that charges were being prepared. Singh had noted that the charges will be related to Benschop squatting on the NFMU’s frequency.
In November, the NFMU head and jeep loads of police swarmed down on Benschop’s 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 illegal, Singh, accompanied by the police, carried out the search.
Using a crowbar in the presence of attorney at law Nigel Hughes, the official proceeded to break down a door and entered Benschop’s house.
And while the search was being carried out, Benschop was made to sit in the back of a police vehicle after he was arrested for obstruction.
He appeared before the court charged with the offence and has been placed on self bail.
Benschop had been operating an online radio station for several months and subsequently began transmitting on the 99.9 frequency.
