I am not sure on ID, but the thread linked below should be a good starting place for care. Simply put, millipedes typically need moist substrate with decaying organic matter. There are some species that like certain supplemental foods, but until you get an ID, a general millipede habitat should keep it alive.

Hi,
Thank you, that was the conclusion I ended up with. I let him in the dark for a few hours, and I think he started eating! The next I’ll have will def. be a Giant African Road millipede

You might want to be careful with having a water dish, they could drown in it! The little guy should get enough moisture from the substrate and treats you've been giving him

Ok, I sprayed the enclosure and saw him drinking from the substrate
