| TikTok Permanently Bans Nigerian for 24-hour Coffin Challenge |
Young C caused an online commotion on Wednesday with his attempt to stay buried in a coffin for 24 hours.
The short video platform TikTok has permanently banned the account of a Nigerian individual, Young C, following his 24-hour challenge of being buried alive.
According to LEADERSHIP Sunday, Young C's profile is no longer accessible on TikTok.
His widely criticized stunt is similar to that of American YouTuber MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson), who spent 50 hours buried alive two years prior to promote awareness of deforestation.
Young C caused an online commotion on Wednesday with his attempt to stay buried in a coffin for 24 hours.
Updating his followers on Instagram on Thursday, Young C reassured, “Guys, I am still alive, I am still fine, I am okay. Some may think something has happened, but I am alright.
He continued, gasping for air, “The issue is that I've run out of water, and I might have to drink this (my urine). But, I am okay.”
Young C initiated the bold challenge on Wednesday, declaring his intentions.
He posted a video on Instagram, asserting the authenticity of the stunt and not a prank. He also planned to stream live from the coffin later that night.
Earlier, Young C mentioned in a video that after being buried for over 8 hours, he was feeling physical discomfort, including intense sweating.
He uploaded a video from inside the coffin, showing his camera and light in operation, and stated his resolve to see the challenge through to the end.
