Why it matters
The incident underscores the health risks associated with unregulated or elective cosmetic procedures performed abroad.
A London coroner has linked the death of British-Nigerian businessman and social media influencer Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo to genital enlargement injections in Thailand, according to Nigeria’s Guardian newspaper, reporting on an inquest at Inner West London Coroners’ Court.
Ubiribo, 43, died in the early hours of March 6, 2026. Details of his death emerged in media reports published in September, rather than the death having occurred this month.
The inquest heard that approximately 40 millilitres of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine had been used for penile filler injections at an unnamed Bangkok clinic. The treatment involved filler injections intended to increase girth.
The Sun reported that Ubiribo underwent the procedure on March 5. He and his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, were staying at a Bangkok hotel and went for a massage afterwards.
