Abimbola Abel and Olabinjo Osundairo who were released yesterday by Chicago police in the Jussie Smollett hoax are the ones who purchased the rope found around Jussie Smollett’s neck on that late, cold Chicago night back in January. Fox Chicago is the only media reporting this so far. Also, it looks like Abimbola Abel and Olabinjo Osundairo Nigerian brothers are ready to flip on hoaxster Jussie Smollett and fully cooperate with authorities.
As of now, there are reports, though unconfirmed that Smollett paid Abimbola Abel and Olabinjo Osundairo to conduct the “MAGA County theme”.
