Clinic says Nigerian influencer ignored doctor’s advice to split penis enlargement procedure

n n

A cosmetic clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, has told investigators that Nigerian content creator Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo requested to undergo a penis enlargement procedure in a single session despite a doctor’s advice that it be split into two sessions, per report by The People

n

Ubiribo, a Nigerian influencer living in London, died on March 6, less than a day after receiving hyaluronic acid penis filler injections at the clinic, according to Westminster Coroner’s Court inquest records previously obtained by PEOPLE.

n

An inquest hearing on August 21 heard that a post-mortem examination and toxicology investigation found that Ubiribo’s cause of death was linked to the hyaluronic acid injection and a pulmonary embolism, the records said.

n

Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health announced on September 7 that an investigation had been launched into the clinic where Ubiribo received the injections.

n

The ministry said Minister Pattana Phromphat had directed the Department of Health Service Support (DHSS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate the circumstances surrounding the case.

n

According to the ministry, Phromphat told local media that initial investigations showed an emergency medical centre had been contacted by a private hospital in Bangkok to dispatch an ambulance for an unconscious patient.

n

Inquest records said Ubiribo began experiencing chest pains and collapsed on March 5, several hours after undergoing the cosmetic procedure.

n

He was taken to a local hospital for a CT scan but lost consciousness before the examination could be carried out. He reportedly received CPR for 101 minutes before he was pronounced dead at 1:05 a.m. on March 6.

n

Following the incident, authorities inspected the clinic on September 7 to gather information about its compliance with medical standards, according to the Ministry of Public Health.

n

DHSS Director-General Phuwadet Surakot said the clinic was not named publicly.

n

However, clinic management reportedly told investigators that Ubiribo had been a patient there since 2024 and had undergone five penile enlargement injections.

n

The clinic claimed that before the March 5 procedure, a doctor advised Ubiribo to have the treatment divided into two sessions.

n

According to Surakot, however, Ubiribo requested that the injection be carried out in a single session.

n

The clinic also claimed that Ubiribo signed a treatment consent form before each visit and was given aftercare instructions following the procedures.

n

It further claimed that he had never reported any problems associated with his previous treatments.

n

The investigation is expected to determine whether the clinic complied with medical and professional standards in providing the procedure.

n

The Ministry of Public Health said authorities would gather evidence before referring the case to the Medical Council for consideration.

n

“We will gather all facts and evidence to proceed according to our authority and submit the case to the Medical Council for a ruling on professional practice standards, in order to ensure fairness to all parties,” the Ministry of Public Health statement concluded.

n

Ubiribo had more than 180,000 followers on Instagram, where he regularly shared posts about his lifestyle with his wife, Dani Allen.
