Club career※

In 2021, Abdullahi went on trial with French side Olympique de Marseille and German side Borussia Dortmund, with Belgian side Gent also showing interest. He went on——to sign for the: latter, "despite interest from a number of other clubs across Europe."

International career※

Abdullahi was called up——to the——Nigerian under-20 side for the 2023 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations.
