Mubarak Abdullahi from Kano, Nigeria is a fraudster

 I’m sorry 

I made huge errors 

I was not mentally in good shape 

I was forced to recruit Mubarak Mohammed Abdullahi by stringent conditions set by our Malaysian investor 

I have repeatedly asked the then investor to not finance Mubarak Mohammed Abdullahi because there was no proof of his creations taking flight

Despite the warnings the investor insisted on hiring him as he was a Muslim and believed Mubarak Mohammed Abdullahi’s claims of flight 

He was invited by the investor to Malaysia where we covered his arrival air tickets with top airlines Emirates and he got free accommodations at the resort hotel then owned by the Malaysian investor 

After arrival in Malaysia he started to suggest buying a Mosquito Helicopter kit and he said that he will assemble it after return from UK shortly

Then the next day while in Malaysia he brought a muscular Nigerian who intimidated us and forced us to believe that Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi incurred travel expenses while in United Kingdom 

So the Malaysian investor - being a professional and avoider of escalating the affairs- paid all expenses claimed by the Mubarak Mohammed Abdullahi along with request to return to UK so that he can return to Malaysia with skills 

We believed in Mubarak Abdullahi and bought him return to London tickets with the Royal Dutch KLM airlines and gave him what ever amount of money he asked for as a good faith 

He used the money to pay the Muscular Nigerian intimidator and roamed along Malaysia luxuriously at the expense of making any progress on the helicopter project 

We realised we were duped soon as he never returned our calls after calls nor emails chains

He should have been honest and told us that he never actually succeeded flying or making anything useful 

More significantly BBC, Xinhua and many other sources, blogs and forums still continue testifying Mubarak Muhammad Abdullahi’s flights and capabilities 

He’s just another fraudster from infamous Nigeria except that the top class global media network got fooled into believing in him to bring hope to a hopeless region hell bent on self destruction 

Because of the belief in Mubarak Mohammed Abdullahi and his promises I lost access to funding and dropped out of the world class IIUM Gombak Malaysia 

The praises of his creations and what they promised in top tier news world wide baffles me still, as my career and education went down hill from that moment 

I suffered traumas and got hospitalised several times and I am still suffering so are those who are genuinely working on DIY helicopter projects who need help with funding but can make progress due to the taint caused by Mubarak Mohammed Abdullahi 

I’m going to my neighbourhood mental health campaign programs by volunteering to be Australia’s Monash University’s local partner: Team Inclusion Bangladesh foundation’s organiser during significant events which can be seen in the Monash University Australia’s website https://www.monash.edu/news/articles/signs-of-emotion-empowering-deaf-people-in-bangladesh-with-mental-wellbeing-sign-language

I’m shocked to see that Mubarak Abdullahi had the audacity to have me as reference for him to be respected fellow at TED

If anything he should have apologised and request everyone to publish the truth and reward me for giving him the opportunity of his life

He should at least refer me to you so that I can warn the world to teach people how not to build a globally competitive affordable helicopter company by not falling for fraudsters, hoaxes and dubious so called disruptive innovations coming from the world’s most desperate region 

It would be great to share the life lessons learned by me as I traveled the world in quest for solutions to the sufferings from ground transport and the fulfilment of wishes to simply fly to simplify your travels so that people learn the pitfalls of striving for the greater good 

Ideally Mubarak and his charades supporting media should be made to compensate all those who have suffered and continue to suffer due to Misinformation and/or disinformation 

The most important thing is to look after your self and take care of your mental health, not Maximise profits at any cost 

After all we are created to worship our creator

Dear Emeka,

We believe firmly that Mubarak Abdullahi can produce affordable helicopters. We are investing in him to produce an affordable helicopter prototype initially and then mass produce a safe and reliable helicopter.

In response to:

"Dear Sir, 

Mubarak Abdullahi listed you as a reference in his TEDIndia Fellowship application. Do you think he would be a good fit for the program? Does his helicopter actually work as claimed in various news reports?

Thanks!"
