Can you identify the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?

Haitian Creole.
Swahili or another Bantu language. I noticed some of the noun classes.
Certainly sounds Bantu and I thought I heard clicks. Sotho? Xhosa? Some sort of Khoisan language?
Either Yoruba or Swahili.
I’m not at all sure, but this sounds like something I heard in southern Cameroon. On the other hand, it could be almost any of the 1,500 or so Niger-Congo languages with thousands of major dialects in sub-Saharan Africa. — If this is a language of the exceptionally huge Niger-Congo family that also includes the Bantu group, give us a hint, please!
I think I geard “Bamako,” which would suggest it’s about something happening in Mali.
It is a Niger-Congo language, but not a Bantu one. It is spoken in northern Ghana.
The answer is Gonja(Ngbanyito), a Kwa language spoken in parts of northern Ghana.
