Default African chain mail shirt

I found this chain mail shirt (hauberk), a little while ago. Can anyone help with identification etc ? The links are riveted and there is a leather collar.

I'm thinking its most likely from Northern Nigeria or Cameroon, but I guess Sudan is also a possibility. Maybe early part of the 20th century in date ?

If any forumites can assist with origin, date range or any other information. please do so...

Thanks in advance.
