‎Nigerian Businessman Dies After Penis Enlargement Procedure in Thailand

Wealthy British-Nigerian businessman and influencer Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo, also known as Denisi or Ego, has died at 43 after undergoing a penis enlargement procedure while on a luxury trip to Thailand with his wife, Danielle Simba Allen.

According to evidence presented at an inquest at Inner West London Coroners’ Court, Igho had 40ml of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine injected into his penis at an unnamed Thai clinic in March. The procedure was later linked to a fatal pulmonary embolism.

After the treatment, Igho and his wife reportedly went for a massage at their Marriott hotel in Bangkok. He complained of chest pain and collapsed twice before being taken to Sukhumvit Hospital. Although he was initially conscious, he later lost consciousness before a recommended CT scan could be performed.

Doctors diagnosed a pulmonary embolism and moved him to intensive care. Medical personnel reportedly carried out CPR for more than 100 minutes, but Igho died in the early hours of March 6.

‎A postmortem examination in the UK later discovered cellular material in his lungs that matched the hyaluronic acid used during the procedure. Coroner Jean Harkin concluded that the cosmetic treatment had caused the pulmonary embolism that led to his death.
