He scored six goals in nine appearances (five starts and three substitute appearances) for the Lagos club despite only joining them in March during the mid-season window.
Aliyu Baba’s goal-scoring prowess is now attracting many football followers and clubs in the country.
The Mahanaim FC raised striker is in his debut season in the Nigeria National League, NNL.
