The Nigerian brothers who were arrested in Jussie Smollett attack released, have been released without charges.

Earlier this week, two men were arrested in connection with the reported attack of “Empire” star Jussie Smollett that occurred in Chicago last month, as TMZ and The Associated Press reported.

Now, according to reports by CNN and Variety, as well as a statement by Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, the two men have been released from police custody without charging due to “new evidence” that arose during questioning. Guglielmi said:

“Due to new evidence as a result of today’s interrogations, the individuals questioned by police in the Empire case have now been released without charging and detectives have additional investigative work to complete.”

We earlier reported that latest development on the Jussie Smollett case appears to insinuate that the Empire actor staged the attack he claimed to have suffered in the hands of two men.
