«Breaking News» Nigerian brothers at center of Jussie Smollett scandal are seen for the first time since arrest

The Nigerian brothers who beat Jussie Smollett in an allegedly staged attack in January have been seen for the first time since they told police about their involvement in the 'hoax'. 

In photographs obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, Abel and Ola Osundairo are seen in Chicago with their pet parrot Nick. 

They refused to answer questions about Smollett, who they say paid them $3,500 to beat him up on January 29 in an attack he allegedly planned as leverage to get a higher salary. 

Smollett denies the claims and will return to court on March 14 to face a felony charge of filing a false police report.

Abel (left) and Ola (right) Osundairo were seen for the first time on Thursday night since Jussie Smollett's arrest. Abel had their pet parrot perched on his left shoulder. They told police Smollett paid them to attack him 

Abel, 27, and Ola, 25, were coy as they dodged questions. 

Jussie Smollett will return to court on March 14 

Ola refused to answer questions about the case, saying: 'We can’t talk about that right now, we appreciate your concern.' 

Abel, who had a parrot on his shoulder, later added: 'We said what we said bro.' 

Ola then plugged their personal fitness Instagram account which they used again for the first time in weeks on Thursday night to share a photograph of themselves shirtless. The brothers then got into waiting car and were driven away.

They accompanied their Instagram post on Thursday night with the caption: 'I'm ABEL'.   

They confessed to police on February 20th that Smollett hired them to beat him up and told them to make it appear as though it was a racist and homophobic attack on January 29. 

They then fled to Nigeria and were out of the country while Smollett performed to sold-out shows and arranged interviews with national media. 

The brothers were picked up by police on February 20th as they arrived back in Chicago. 

They were questioned by police for 47 hours before finally telling them that Smollett was behind the entire attack. 

Smollett, who met the pair when they appeared on Empire as extras, denies their version of events but is yet to offer an explanation for much of the evidence police say they have. 

The brothers were in high spirits despite the scandal 

There was a car waiting for the pair in the parking lot. They refused to answer questions as they made their way towards it but said they 'appreciated' the 'concern' 

As they got into the car, the parrot took a perch on the back of the front passenger seat. Ola laughed and plugged their Instagram account before they were driven away 

A check he gave the brothers for $3,500 was labeled as payment for a workout and nutrition program and it was dated January 23, four days before the attack. 

Police say the actor deliberately backdated it to make it appear innocent and said he was in fact paying them for the attack. 

They claim to have video proof of Smollett in a car with the pair days before the incident when they said he was concocting their story. 

Footage has already emerged of the brothers buying ski masks and other props to use in the attack.  

The brothers' parrot has its own Instagram account where the brothers sometimes appear along with their other pets.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
