good morning !!!
It seems as to belongs to Drilini. Quite similar to the Palaearctic genus Selasia.
For the west African fauna, you can see here:

Hello, in fact the revision of the west African Drilini is in progress at the moment...
The photographs are not sharp enough to see clearly the pronotum and frontal region of head but I think this is Selasia. However, some Wittmerselasia spp. are quite similar in that region..
