A Nigerian prince and his accomplice are accused of bamboozling hundreds of job seekers out of thousands of dollars by promising them high-paying gigs in New York.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office said Osmond Eweka, 31, a prince from the Benin royal family in Nigeria, according to reports, and a United States citizen living in New Jersey and his friend Kamel McKay, 27, pretended to run two consulting firms in Manhattan telling clients that if they paid a fee they would be placed at various jobs across New York City.

Prosecutors said some of the jobs Eweka and McKay promised their victims were for hotel housekeeping and front desk receptionists.

The men used the popular job-seeking website Indeed.com to find their victims.

God forbid bad things this one is IPOB prince

Explorers:
Eweka, 31, appeared in a Manhattan court on Thursday where he pleaded guiltyto charges of larceny and scheme to defraud.

According to court documents, Eweka and McKay used office space in the Empire State Building and another building on fifth avenue to run two bogus employment agency firms, Stamford Consulting Firm and Howard Consulting Group.

They also used fake names, according to the New York Post. Eweka went by the name Sean Jackson and McKay reportedly used the name Tyrone Hayes.

Prosecutors said they would invite their victims to their office for an interview and then have them pay a fee, ranging between $300 and $700, the Post reports.

Prosecutor Catherine McCaw said they told victims the fee would cover the cost of uniforms, training and background checks.

They also said that paying the high fee would result in higher-paying jobs.

'But in reality, there was no such job,' she said at Eweka's arraignment on Thursday in Manhattan Supreme Court.

After collecting the money, the men would send the job seekers to different businesses, where they were turned away by employers who weren't expecting them.

The victims then found that they could no longer get in contact with the alleged fraudsters or the consulting firm.

According to authorities, Eweka and McKay duped 250 people.

Prosecutors said they never provided a single job.

They ran the alleged scam from January to June 2018.

Eweka is a prince from the Benin royal family in Nigeria, according to reports, and a United States citizen living in New Jersey.

McKay is from the Bronx.

Both men were indicted on charges of larceny and scheme to defraud. McKay was arraigned last week and released on $200,000 bail, theNew York Times reports.

In 2016, Eweka married attorney Imade Igbinedion in an elaborate wedding ceremony in Nigeria.

Representatives from the Benin family told the Times they could not confirm whether Eweka was a family member because the 'it is a very large family'.

Wonders shall never end, I remember the expensive wedding celebration of this guy and Igbenedions Daughter (Imade)

There is only one prince to a family, and that is the crown prince of that family. The brothers of the crown prince are not really relevant in the scheme of royals. They just carry the blood of their father who may be a king but the real prince is the crown prince.

The only prince of the Benin Kingdom and as its done in the southwest, is the crown prince all others are not really a prince because the crown will never pass to them. Though in the southwest more than one family within a ruling house can be entitled to it, but each of that family will have a crown prince who is the real prince.

So cases like this are people who use the blood of one distant king to scam people or gain relevance. His surname is Eweka, do you know how long ago Eweka reigned?
