Career
A very gifted, tall, silky and skilful forward, who shoots accurately as well, Baba made his debut for Ghana against Jamaica on 7 August 1999. He scored for Ghana on his debut. In these 8 appearances, he has scored a total of 2 goals.
He scored against Zimbabwe during the 2006 African Cup of Nations in Egypt.
Baba was selected as part of the provincial 28-man Ghana World Cup Squad, but was controversially left out of the final 23-man Squad because of indiscipline, a trait that many believe caused him to have an inconsistent Club and career. Adamu was never likely to get much playing time for Ghana with the likes of Matthew Amoah, Joetex Frimpong and Prince Tagoe ahead of him in the pecking order for the striking berths.
He did, however, make an appearance at the start of the second half against Zimbabwe and scored Ghana"s consolation goal in a 2–1 loss.
