'Idan no dey surrender' - Reactions as Donald Trump's mugshot trends in Nigeria

Nigerians on social media have reacted to the release of the first ever mugshot of a former US president.

Donald Trump surrendered in Georgia on charges of plotting to overturn the state's 2020 election results.

The former president was released after paying a a bail bond of $200,000 (£160,000) from the Atlanta jail while he awaits trial.

Afterwards, he described the case as "a travesty of justice".

It was his fourth arrest in five months in a criminal case, but this was his first police booking photo.

Mr Trump later posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, for the first time since January 2021. He shared the address of his website and the mugshot with an all-capital letters caption: "Election interference. Never surrender!"

He joins the ranks of American public figures who have had arrest booking photos, including Elvis, Frank Sinatra, Al Capone and Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

The photo he shared has since garnered several reactions from Nigerians.
