A cosmetic clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, has disclosed that Nigerian-British businessman and social media influencer Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo underwent five penis enlargement treatments at the facility before his death in March. The 43-year-old died on 6 March, less than a day after undergoing his fifth penile filler procedure while on holiday in Thailand with his wife, Danielle Allen.
The disclosure emerged as Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health opened an investigation into the clinic following reports about the circumstances surrounding Mr Ubiribo’s death. The ministry said Health Minister Pattana Promphat directed the Department of Health Service Support (DHSS) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate the facility and establish whether it complied with the country’s medical standards.
Officials from the two agencies inspected the clinic, located on Rama I Road in Bangkok’s Pathum Wan district, on 7 September. Thai authorities have not publicly disclosed the name of the facility. According to the DHSS, the clinic’s management told investigators that Mr Ubiribo had been a regular patient since 2024 and had undergone five penile enlargement procedures.
The clinic said the first four treatments were carried out between 2024 and 2025 before Mr Ubiribo returned for a fifth procedure on 5 March 2026. The clinic further told investigators that the doctor recommended dividing the treatment into two sessions, but Mr Ubiribo requested a single session.

The patient had received five injections to enlarge the male genitalia,” DHSS Director-General Phuwadet Surakot said. “The doctor recommended dividing the injection into two sessions, but the patient preferred a single injection.” Mr Surakot said the clinic also told investigators that Mr Ubiribo received aftercare instructions following each procedure and that staff followed up on his condition.
