THE World Health Organisation (WHO) was aware of sexual abuse allegations against one of its medics working in the Democratic Republic of Congo but failed to act, internal emails have revealed.

Dr Boubacar Diallo allegedly offered a job investigating Ebola cases to 25-year-old Shekinah — who asked that only her first name be used for fear of repercussions — at double her previous salary in exchange for sexual favours in January 2019.

The nursing aide said: “When he asked me to sleep with him, given the financial difficulties of my family, I accepted.”
