UK told to stop sending foreign aid to Nigeria after mass killing of Christians

FOREIGN aid to Nigeria should be halted unless massacres of Christians stop, according to a major new poll. More than half of people (53 percent) want British aid to Nigeria made conditional on measures protecting Christians, a new Savanta ComRes poll shows.
Nearly six out of 10 respondents (58 percent) backed sanctions against human rights abusers.
The poll comes as concern mounts about atrocities carried out by Boko Haram and the region’s version of the so-called Islamic State.
There was also strong support for lobbying the UN to send peacekeeping forces into parts of Nigeria (53 percent).
Two in five UK adults (39 percent) say they expect the UK to speak out against violence towards Christians in Nigeria.
The poll of more than 2,000 adults, commissioned by humanitarian organisation PSJ UK, also found that more than one in four people (26 percent) of people would support Britain intervening with military force in parts of Nigeria, although 35 percent were opposed.
