The son of late Nigerian socialite and influencer Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo has challenged reports surrounding his father’s death, insisting that he was killed and rejecting claims that he underwent a penis-enlargement procedure.
In a statement circulating on social media, the son disputed the narrative surrounding his father’s final days, saying Ubiribo did not need penis enlargement and had never undergone such a procedure.
He also alleged that his father sustained injuries that, in his view, raised questions about the circumstances of his death.
The son further claimed that the woman described publicly as his father’s wife was never legally married to him and accused her of withholding information from the family after his death.
He alleged that his inheritance and properties belonging to his father had been taken, describing the situation as deeply painful for the family.
However, his claims come against the backdrop of an ongoing official account that differs significantly from his version.
According to records from a Westminster Coroner’s Court inquest reported by PEOPLE, a post-mortem and toxicology examination found that Ubiribo’s death was caused by a pulmonary embolism linked to hyaluronic-acid injections administered during a penis-enhancement procedure in Bangkok, Thailand.
Ubiribo reportedly became unwell after the procedure, complaining of chest pain before collapsing. He was taken to hospital and underwent prolonged resuscitation attempts but died in the early hours of March 6, 2026.
The Bangkok clinic has also come under investigation by Thai authorities. Officials said the clinic claimed Ubiribo had received several previous treatments there and that, before his final procedure, a doctor had advised him to split the treatment into two sessions. The clinic reportedly said he requested that it be completed in one session and had signed consent forms.
The investigation remains separate from the allegations now being made by Ubiribo’s son.
His statements have therefore reopened public discussion about the circumstances surrounding the influencer’s death, while the family-related accusations and his claim that his father was killed remain allegations that have not been established by the official findings cited above.
Ubiribo, who was 43, was known for his lavish lifestyle and large social-media following. His death in Thailand earlier this year has continued to attract attention following the release of details from the coroner’s proceedings and the subsequent investigation into the Bangkok clinic.
