The Commissioner of Police, Airport Command, Mr. Moses Onireti, said that the suspects were arrested in the early hours of Friday in their various residences in Shasha and Akowonjo on the outskirts of Lagos. He also said the suspects had confessed stealing 16 out of the 20 units of the missing DDC machines. The suspects, he said, had made useful statements that would lead to the arrest of other suspects involved in the theft.

Question is: What do these people want with these machines?
