Once Nort had conveniently eliminated the largest branch of CSudanic, I browsed through the remaining smaller branches until I found one with implosives and labio-velar stops, then checked out the OLAC resources page, and as soon as I saw "Ádá ãpá ká ádá gäshá glĕshë áshá" I knew I was onto it.

Next:
Okoo yuwa okoo me ee kaa taa peetaa. Kuwa bedo wiya ekea paaya peneata ayaa yiba dakameaweeyu. Kopaa mumo to kaa kaawaa wiya toko… inii nakaayoo ee epoo bagee yuwa too omegee. Uudee kaa abagayamoo.

Auye then. (But it really looks like Ekari, just with <s>.)

Yeah. I have a hunch that Auye is most closely related with Ekari (and that Wolani, which is usually cited as subgrouping with Ekari, is more distantly related to both), but confirming would need a proper look at the data, thankfully we now have a vocabulary and some glossed texts available so it should be doable (and I might try doing it). I'll post a new text tomorrow.

Chadic. Not Biu-Mandara. No lateral fricatives, /f/, or prenasalization. Seven vowels. <nyw-> and <-kng>. Boghom?

There are actually dialects of Mee (as the speakers call it) with /s/ (usually derived from /t/ before , IIRC).

Damn. Yeah, Boghom. (How? I didn't manage to find anything else than this Bible translation, though I didn't look far enough.)

Wordlist, Ctrl+F <nyw>. Are there Boghom materials on Glottolog? Not really. Is there a Bible translation? Yes. There were a lot of dead ends and I spent an hour or two convincing myself it wasn't Biu-Mandara.

New text in a bit.
