This is a talking catfish, genus Synodontis, from the Djerem river in Cameroon. These fish are plentiful here and they make sounds by moving their pectoral fins. They are capable of giving your finger a hard pinch, so they should be handled carefully. They are regularly served in local restaurants, cooked whole in a stew. They are called mpok-mpok in the local dialect.
