Abel and Ola Osundairo are walking back promises made by their attorney that they would testify against actor Jussie Smollett for allegedly faking a hate crime last year.

The Osundairo brothers now say they will not willingly cooperate with police until officials stop treating them like suspects in a crime even though the brothers are not facing any charges. The Osundairos say that police have yet to return items taken during a February 2019 raid on the brothers’ home, according to CBS Chicago.
