Abel and Ola Osundairo have reportedly decided they will not willingly testify against actor Jussie Smollett after he allegedly staged a hate crime attack on himself.
The brothers, who claimed they were paid $3,500 by Smollett to attack him in Chicago, believe they are still being treated as suspects and will not testify, according to a report published Wednesday by CBS Chicago.
Jussie Smollett was handed a new six-count indictment in February for making four separate false reports to the Chicago Police Department after the alleged 2019 attack in February of 2020.
The new charges were brought against the actor by prosecutors per recommendation of special prosecutor Dan Webb.
“It’s been over a year and they need to give us our stuff back,†Abel told the outlet.
“I would understand if we were defendants in the case, which we are not,†he added.
