A Nigerian man identified as Young C caused a stir online on Wednesday, May 8, when he embarked on a challenge to be buried alive in a coffin for 24 hours.
In a post shared on his Instagram page, the young man said he intends to broadcast live footage from the coffin at night.
Sharing a video on his Instagram account, he said, “I am going to be spending the next 24 hours buried in this casket. Guys, this is real, not fake. And the most amazing part is that I am going to go live by night.”
In a subsequent update, Young C revealed that he had been buried for over 8 hours and was experiencing physical discomfort, including excessive sweating.
“Guys, I have been buried alive for over 8 hours now. For those of you who saw my first video, I have been down here. As you can see, my camera is still rolling, and I have my light down there, I am sweating, guys.”
In yet another update, Young C said he has started experiencing heat and that his fear now is for his rechargeable fan not to run out of power. He also showed a container where he has been urinating since he began the challenge.
In an update on his page on Thursday, he said
“Guys, I am still alive, I am still fine, I am okay. A lot of you might think something has happened, but nothing has happened, I am fine. My problem is just that I have run out of water, I might be forced to drink this (my urine). Guys, I am fine.’ he said while breathing heavily.
After spending 24 hours in the coffin, Young C, was successfully exhumed.
After he was ‘’exhumed’, he cautioned viewers against attempting similar stunts due to the inherent dangers involved.
His dangerous challenge led to TikTok permanently banning his account.
