A Nigerian prince accused of defrauding hundreds of job seekers out of thousands of dollars by promising them high-paying gigs appeared in Manhattan court Thursday with a special request.

Osmond Eweka, 31, asked a judge in the case for permission to travel to Nigeria for the upcoming birth of his child. Osmond is married to the daughter of Gabriel Osawaru Igbinedion ,the Esama of the Benin Kingdom in Nigeria. The judge will determine next month whether or not to approve Osmond Eweka, was accused of scamming New York job seekers out of thousands of dollars by promising to find them work.

Eweka and his friend, Kamel McKay, created bogus employment agency firms and used Indeed.com to find their victims. They interviewed victims and made them pay a fee, ranging between $300 and $700.

The two men would then send the job seekers to businesses where they were turned away, because the employers were not expecting them.
Eweka pleaded not guilty to charges of larceny and scheme to defraud in July
Prosecutors said some of the jobs Eweka and McKay promised their victims were for hotel housekeeping and front desk receptionists.

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.

He just brought disgrace to the igbinedions.

Please when did promising people jobs become a crime? I also promised Nigerians 3 million jobs in 2015, does that make me a fraudster? The court should grant the young man his request because he has integrity just like me, and he will be honored upon arrival like James Ibori and will be given federal appointment like Maina.

He just brought disgrace to the igbinedions.

.....not only to the Igbinedions, but to the nation at large!
It is such a shame.


They should keep him back over there till he pay for all his actrocities.
CRIME DOES NOT PAY...
But they believe fast life is the only way to GOOD LIFE.
If you do the crime, get ready to do the time.
Chikena!
