TikTok suspends Nigerian man’s account after ‘24-hour buried alive challenge’

TikTok has suspended the account of a Nigerian content creator known as Young C after starting a ‘24-hour buried alive challenge’ on Wednesday.

Young C had embarked on this daring challenge on Wednesday, announcing his intention to be buried alive in a coffin for 24 hours.

At 23 hours, he took to his Instagram page, @youngcentertainment, to give live footage, emphasizing that the stunt was genuine and not a hoax.

He also notified his followers that he had exhausted his water and would resort to taking his urine as he was obviously famished.

After being buried alive in a coffin for 24 hours, Young C was successfully exhumed.

He announced this on his Instagram page on Thursday afternoon, accompanied by the revelation that his TikTok account had been suspended.

Some Nigerians, however, took the comment session of his post to condemn the challenge. While some called the attention of the Police to arrest him, others doubted his sanity.

@Soniahappygisttv said, “You for they live video for 24 hours make we for believe you.”
