Nigerian Brothers Olabinjo ‘Ola’ Osundairo, 27, and Abimbola ‘Abel’ Osundairo, 25, had been picked up by Chicago police on Wednesday night amid unsubstantiated claims from local media that Smollett had staged the attack, because he was being written off of Empire.

They were arrested on suspicion of battery but police said they are being released due to ‘new evidence’.
