The accused, Mark Benyin of Kwarenya, faces two charges: unlawful entry and unauthorised interference with an electronic record.

Court documents confirm both counts but do not detail the specific circumstances of the alleged offences, including the location of the unlawful entry or the nature of the electronic record said to have been tampered with.

The court directed that Benyin's identity be circulated in the daily newspapers and, where possible, broadcast on television, citing the need to aid law enforcement in locating him.

Arrest Warrant Issued Since May

A warrant for Benyin's arrest had already been issued by the court on May 21, 2026, under Section 73 of the relevant laws.

The warrant commands the Superintendent of Police and all officers within the court's jurisdiction to apprehend Benyin and bring him before the court at Asofan.

The decision to escalate the matter by ordering public notification suggests the accused has not yet been located since the warrant was first issued.
