“Similarly, all Muslims are enjoined to boycott products of companies that support Israel and find alternatives from companies that are peace-loving so that they will not willingly contribute economically to the genocide against their brethren.

On the insecurity in the country, the forum called on the federal government, security agencies, and relevant stakeholders to immediately put a comprehensive and practical plan in place to end all forms of insecurity bedeviling the country and punish perpetrators.

On the sanctions against Niger Republic, the forum appealed to ECOWAS to lift the sanctions to avoid collective punishment of citizens of the country.
