One 43-year-old Nigerian-British businessman and social-media personality, Igho Ubiribo, wey plenty people know as “Tiny”, “Denisi” and “Ego”, don die afta e undergo manhood enlargement procedure during im holiday for Bangkok, Thailand.
New details wey come out for inquiry wey happen for Inner West London Coroner Court show say Ubiribo suffer pulmonary embolism serious blockage wey fit stop blood from flowing well go lungs afta doctors inject about 40 millilitres of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine into im manhood.
According to reports from Daily Mail, Punch and other media houses, Ubiribo dey Bangkok with im wife, Danielle Simba Allen, when e decide to undergo the cosmetic procedure for one clinic wey dem no name.
Afta the procedure, Ubiribo and im wife reportedly go back to the hotel and later go for massage. Na during the massage e complain say chest dey pain am, before e collapse two times.
Dem quickly carry am go Sukhumvit Hospital, where medical workers first fit communicate with am. But e later lose consciousness before doctors fit carry out one recommended scan.
Doctors reportedly diagnose pulmonary embolism and move am enter intensive care. Medical workers try revive am for more than 100 minutes, but Ubiribo die for the early hours of March 6, 2026.
Post-mortem examination wey dem conduct for Britain later reportedly find cellular material inside im lungs wey match the hyaluronic acid wey dem use for the enlargement procedure.
Based on the evidence wey come before the inquiry, Assistant Coroner Jean Harkin conclude say pulmonary embolism caused by the cosmetic procedure na the cause of Ubiribo death.
Medical Warning Over Manhood Enlargement Procedures
Ubiribo case don again bring public attention to the growing interest for cosmetic procedures wey men dey use to increase the size or thickness of their manhood.
The British Association of Urological Surgeons don also raise concern over these procedures. For one 2026 professional consensus document, the association say evidence about manhood enlargement procedures remain limited, with many studies get low quality and serious methodological weaknesses.
The medical body examine different methods, including injectable fillers and surgery. E warn say although some injectable fillers fit produce temporary increase for thickness, the medical evidence no strong enough to establish say these procedures dey broadly safe.
The association therefore advise serious caution around injectable fillers for manhood enlargement.
Medical experts also don identify possible complications from these kinds of procedures, including infection, tissue damage, swelling, lumps, scarring and other serious reactions. In rare circumstances, injected material fit enter blood vessels and travel go lungs, where e fit cause life-threatening blockage.
However, Obaland magazine no find reliable evidence wey confirm the separate claim say Ubiribo manhood turn black or say im skin dey peel off after the procedure. Because of our commitment to accurate journalism, we no go present that particular claim as confirmed fact.
Who Be Igho Ubiribo?
Igho Ubiribo na Nigerian-British businessman and social-media personality wey build following through pictures and posts about luxury lifestyle, travels and high-profile social connections.
Reports say e get around 185,000 followers for Instagram and e dey known within Nigerian entertainment circles.
Ubiribo also dey closely associated with Afrobeats superstar Davido, and reports say the singer attend im burial for London.
His death initially attract different accounts about the circumstances surrounding am, but the later inquiry for London provide more detailed information about wetin happen during the Thailand trip.
The case don now become another reminder say cosmetic procedure no be ordinary matter, especially when person dey undergo treatment outside a properly regulated medical environment.
For Obaland magazine, the bigger lesson from the tragedy no be to shame anybody over personal appearance or choice. Instead, e be say anybody wey dey consider cosmetic treatment suppose first understand the possible danger, verify the qualification of the person wey go perform the procedure, confirm say the substance wey dem wan inject dey medically approved for the purpose, and seek advice from qualified medical professionals before making any decision.
