Popular Nigerian influencer dies after penis enlargement surgery

Renowned British-Nigerian influencer and businessman Igho "Tiny" Ubiribo, also known as Denisi or Ego, passed away at the age of 43 due to a fatal pulmonary embolism that occurred following a penis enlargement surgery in Thailand. The inquest at Inner West London Coroners’ Court concluded that Ubiribo's death was linked to the cosmetic procedure conducted by a clinic in Bangkok on March 5, 2026.

Coroner Jean Harkin ruled that the procedure, which involved injecting 40 millilitres of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine into his penis, led to the tragic event. Ubiribo, who had been on holiday with his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, sought the treatment during their vacation. After the surgery, he and his wife went for a massage and Ubiribo began experiencing chest pain and lost consciousness twice.

Medical staff performed CPR for over 100 minutes, but the 43-year-old succumbed to the complications arising from the procedure on March 6, 2026. Traces of the filler material were found in his lungs during the postmortem examination, corroborating the coroner's findings. The case has shed light on the potential medical hazards associated with cosmetic enhancement procedures, particularly when injectable fillers are used in sensitive areas of the body.
