Fantastic piece Martin! This old photo shows a similar shield and should be from the Mambila I think?

Did you read this book before? "Tribal Studies in Northern Nigeria"? It has lot of information on this people group and some nice photos.

I'm afraid the whole book is not available online but the chapter about Mambila is so we are lucky!
