President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered an investigation into allegations of sexual abuse allegedly ongoing at Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp, where women and children are taking refuge from Boko Haram. 


The office of the presidency said he was shocked by the allegations, made in a report released by campaign group Human Rights Watch (HRW), and had instructed the police chief and state governors to immediately launch an investigation. 

HRW said it had spoken to 43 victims who had been raped or sexually exploited by security officials and vigilante groups.
