Officials and guards at Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have
been accused of sexually exploiting women and girls living in camps for victims
of militant Islamist group Boko Haram in the country's north-east, according to
Human Rights Watch (HRW).
Forty-three women and girls were sexually abused in seven
camps in Maiduguri city, the headquarters of military operations against Boko
Haram, by officials guarding the camps, the campaign group said in a
new report.
The government hasn't commented on the allegations yet.
Mausi Segun, senior Nigeria researcher at HRW, said: "It is disgraceful and outrageous that
people who should protect these women and girls are attacking and abusing
them."
