Two Men Arrested in Jussie Smollett Assault Investigation

Police have arrested two men in the ongoing Jussie Smollett assault investigation.

The two men, Olabinjo and Abimbola Osundairo, are brothers from Nigeria. They were booked for battery, according to TMZ on Friday (February 15).

They are now being referred to as “potential suspects” rather than “persons of interest.” Their home was reportedly raided on Thursday (February 14) and evidence was seized, including bottles of bleach.

Olabinjo previously played an inmate during Season 2 of Empire. The nature of their relationship to Jussie is not yet known, but Jussie follows Abimbola on Instagram.

The story is still developing.
