A Nigerian prince has given up a life of royalty at home to spend his days hunting leaks for Thames Water in London - in a story reminiscent of the Eddie Murphy comedy "Coming to America."

Akeem Adenuga, 62, comes from near Lagos in Nigeria where his brother - King Asunmo Aderibigbe - is The Paramount Ruler of Odo-Ayandelu in Nigeria.

The prince took a break from royal duties in 1994 to study in the UK and fell in love with the country, taking a job as a trainee leakage technician at Thames Water in 2000 - and he has worked there ever since.

This video was filmed 17th February 2020.
