After spending 24 hours buried alive, a Nigerian man, Young C, has been successfully dug up from a coffin.
This accomplishment was shared on his Instagram on Thursday, along with the news of his TikTok account being suspended.
Before his exhumation, Young C had reassured his followers on Instagram that he was still alive and in good condition, despite feeling physical discomfort and running out of water.
Young C took on this challenge on Wednesday, declaring his plan to be buried alive for 24 hours and live-streaming from the coffin at night.
Young C’s feat is similar to a challenge by American YouTuber MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson), who was buried alive for 50 hours two years ago to bring attention to deforestation. Recently, MrBeast tried to break his record by spending 7 consecutive days in a coffin, facing physical and mental challenges before being dug up.
He warned viewers against attempting similar stunts due to the inherent dangers.
