General of Police and the state governors of the affected
states to immediately begininvestigations into the
alleged sexual abuse and exploitation of women and girls in of
the internally displaced persons' camps.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu said the president was worried
and shocked by the recently released Human Rights Watch
(HRW) report on the alleged abuse.
Shehu stated that the welfare of these most vulnerable of
Nigerian citizens had been a priority of Buhari's government.
He said Nigerians and the international community could rest
assured that the allegations raised in the HRW were not being
taken lightly.
He said their findings would determine the next course of
action for the government and define an appropriate response.
According to him, while the Nigerian military continues to work
hard so that these unfortunate victims of Boko Haram
terrorism can soon return safely to their homes, the
government will do its best to ensure their protection and
welfare in the temporary IDP camps. Source- Dailytrust news
