How Nigerian Businessman Igho Ubiribo Had Five Penis Enlargement Injections Before Death — Clinic

Nigerian-British businessman and social media influencer Igho Ubiribo underwent five separate penis enlargement filler procedures at a Bangkok clinic prior to his death in March, Thai public health authorities have revealed.

The Department of Health Service Support under Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health disclosed the details following an official inspection of the medical facility where the 43-year-old received his final treatment.

Ubiribo, popularly known as “Tiny”, “Denisi”, and “Ego”, passed away after receiving a penile filler injection while on holiday in Thailand with his wife.

Releasing details of the medical emergency, the official statement noted: “The investigation revealed that on March 5, 2026, the emergency medical services centre received a request for an ambulance from a private hospital in the Sukhumvit area to transport a patient who had lost consciousness.”

Outlining the immediate clinical response, the statement continued: “The patient’s wife informed the medical team that the patient had recently received a filler injection the same day and had gone for a massage afterwards. Due to suspicions of a blood clot, the hospital prepared to perform a high-speed CT scan with contrast dye to diagnose the condition.”

Detailing the fatal progression, the statement added: “To create a three-dimensional image of the blood vessels (Computed Tomography Angiography), during which time the patient was unconscious and had no pulse, the medical team began CPR, but there was no response, confirming the patient’s death.”

Explaining the timeline of events, the agency stated: “This initial information led to an investigation of the clinic located on Rama 1 Road, Pathum Wan District, Bangkok, on September 7, 2026.”

Clinic representatives informed investigators that the deceased had been a repeat client, having undergone four procedures between 2024 and 2025 before returning for his fifth treatment on March 5, 2026.

Confirming his treatment record, the statement noted: “The clinic’s management provided information stating that the patient had been a regular patient since 2024. The patient had received five injections to enlarge the male genitalia.”

The final procedure involved administering a 40cc dosage of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine into the genitalia in a single session.

Regarding medical advice provided during the visit, the statement added: “The doctor recommended dividing the injection into two sessions, but the patient preferred a single injection.”

Describing post-procedure protocols, the agency noted: “The clinic provided post-operative care instructions and followed up with the patient, who did not report any problems with the procedure. Furthermore, the patient signed consent forms before each procedure.”

The formal inquiry was initiated after Thailand’s Minister of Public Health, Pattana Promphat, directed the Department of Health Service Support and the Food and Drug Administration to examine the clinic’s operational compliance.

DHSS Director-General Phuwadej Surakhot confirmed that regulatory findings would be forwarded to professional oversight boards.

Outlining the next legal steps, the statement added: “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.”

A UK coroner’s inquest previously established that Ubiribo suffered a fatal pulmonary embolism after filler material entered his bloodstream and traveled to his lungs.

Following the injection, Ubiribo experienced severe chest pain and collapsed at his hotel massage facility before emergency responders performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation for over 100 minutes at Sukhumvit Hospital.

Postmortem laboratory analyses later confirmed foreign dermal filler material in his lung tissue matching the hyaluronic acid compound used in the aesthetic procedure.

Commenting on the clinical hazards of non-surgical cosmetic interventions, aesthetic medicine physician Dr. Mobola Savage warned: “Non-surgical does not mean risk-free. Penile filler is still an invasive medical procedure involving highly vascular anatomy.”

Thai medical authorities confirmed that regulatory investigations remain ongoing to determine whether the practitioner and clinic met required professional standards.
