A recent publication by The Independent on the illegal activities of ‘goro girls’ at the Weija office of the DVLA has met the displeasure of the girls, as some have threatened to “deal with” the reporter who filed the story.

Some of the affected girls are also accusing The Independent staff of depriving them of their livelihood.

Since the story, “Goro Girls take over DVLA” was published, business for the goro boys and girls has not been good for a week now.

The brazen manner in which they were operating seems to have reduced drastically as some of them are apprehensive that they could be the subject of another media and public bashing.

Their observable frequent pacing back and forth in and around the DVLA office has now become periodic and well-timed to avoid being arrested.

The goro girls who read the report accused the reporter of making their strategies open, while others were eager to see the reporter and “teach her a lesson”.

Some of the girls have made several ambush visits to The Independent office in a bid to find the reporter.

Meanwhile, some officials at the said DVLA office have also accused The Independent of “putting them into trouble with their superiors”.

Apparently, the report revealed the weak surveillance and the connivance with the goro boys and girls by officials of the DVLA.

Readers would recall that The Independent reported on July 3, 2013 that goro girls had virtually taken over Weija office of the DVLA.

The report cited some of the strategies adopted by the goro girls in luring potential clients into business.

According to the report, though the DVLA had sent a ‘strong word’ to the goro people, it appeared that the DVLA was fighting itself since some of its officials were engaged in the crime.
