A Nigerian content creator identified as Young C, has been successfully exhumed after spending 24 hours buried alive in a coffin.
Young C announced in an Instagram post on Wednesday that he would be embarking on the challenge for an undisclosed reason, stating that the stunt was genuine and not a hoax.
He took to his Instagram account to share a video announcing his daring plan: “I am going to be spending the next 24 hours buried in this casket. Guys, this is real, not fake.” He added, “And the most amazing part is that I am going to go live at night.”
In another post on Thursday afternoon, the content creator announced he had completed the challenge, also revealing that his TikTok account had been suspended.
Following his announcement, Nigerians doubted the claim of being buried alive, with some calling for his arrest.
@Wemzlaw wrote, “Isn’t there a law that warrants an arrest if or when you’re a danger to yourself? Plus, doing this for the gram knowing that people can see it, try to recreate, and possibly get hurt or die??”
@love_ibanga said, “What was the purpose of that guy burying himself underground for 24hrs. These people are opening doing rituals and calling it content. Next thing he will buy big Benz, or mansion.”
@CroniiiEgoyibo said, “I cringed so much, is it for fame or what? Them suppose arrest am charge am to court! Very foolish”
@Ayomiepat_, “Too fake😂😂😂. They should have showed us when they started exhuming the body. As a matter of fact, his team were supposed to go live as they are standing by the grave immediately they covered the body with sand.”
@emezie4real wrote, “This one no serious. Buried alive and you dey talk. You never run out of oxygen. Just clout chasing up and down.”
@eN_d33 said, “This is a room under the ground, not “buried alive”.. More than 70% of human beings, both old and young around the world can do this. !! Nothing special fr!!”
