Two brothers being questioned by Chicago PD both attended QU, played football
Two brothers, who've been identified as the men taken into custody by Chicago police for questioning in connection with last month's purported hate crime attack of Empire TV star Jussie Smollett, have connections to Quincy.
CWBChicago.com reported Friday that Olabinjo “Ola” Osundairo and Abimbola “Abel” Osundairo both attended Quincy University, and played football for the Hawks. The brothers attended the school from 2011 to 2014. Neither brother has been charged in connection with the Smollett case, but they did spend the night in jail Thursday. The brothers were taken into custody Wednesday after they landed at O’Hare Airport in Chicago on a return trip from Nigeria. They flew there just hours after Smollett reported being attacked. According to a Department spokesman, the men are in custody and have been arrested based on probable cause that they may have been involved in a crime.
Both men knew Smollett after having been hired as extras on Empire.
