Nigerian man simply identified as Young C caused a stir online on Wednesday, when he embarked on a challenge to be buried alive in a coffin for 24 hours.
However, Young C, has been successfully exhumed after allegedly completing the challenge.
This feat was announced on his Instagram account on Thursday afternoon.
He was accompanied by the revelation that his TikTok account had been suspended over the challenge.
Young C’s feat bears resemblance to a similar challenge undertaken by American YouTuber MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson), who spent 50 hours buried alive two years ago to raise awareness about deforestation.
Recently, MrBeast attempted to surpass his record by spending 7 consecutive days buried in a coffin, overcoming physical and mental challenges before being exhumed.
He cautioned viewers against attempting similar stunts due to the inherent dangers involved.
In a post shared on his Instagram page earlier, Young C had 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.
