This is a swordsman from the kingdom of Benin, which controlled the area of southwestern Nigeria in West Africa between 1440 and 1897 AD (it is not to be confused with the modern country of Benin, the territory of which corresponds more closely to another pre-colonial West African kingdom called Dahomey). As shown by their famous brass plaques, the warriors of Benin seemed to have been among the most heavily armored in the region. Honestly, I found that armor so elaborate that it proved rather challenging to draw using reference.
