Nigerian-British businessman and social media influencer, Igho Ubiribo, underwent five penis enlargement procedures at a clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, before his death, according to Thailand’s Department of Health Service Support under the Ministry of Public Health.
The development was contained in a statement released by the Thai health authorities as investigations continued into the circumstances surrounding Ubiribo’s death.
According to the department, the businessman had reportedly undergone multiple procedures at the Bangkok clinic, raising concerns about the safety and regulation of cosmetic medical treatments.
Ubiribo’s death has drawn public attention because of the nature of the procedure he reportedly underwent and the circumstances surrounding his treatment in Thailand.
The case has also raised questions about the risks associated with repeated cosmetic or enhancement procedures, particularly when they involve invasive medical interventions.
Thai authorities are expected to examine the circumstances surrounding the procedures, the clinic’s operations and the medical care provided to Ubiribo before his death.
The Department of Health Service Support is responsible for overseeing and regulating health service facilities in Thailand, including ensuring that medical establishments comply with relevant standards and regulations.
Ubiribo, who was known as a businessman and social media personality, had reportedly travelled to Thailand for the procedures.
The disclosure of the five procedures adds another layer to the investigation into his death, although the fact that he underwent the procedures does not, by itself, establish that any particular procedure or medical action caused his death.
Authorities will therefore need to establish the precise circumstances and medical cause of death through the appropriate investigation and medical findings.
The incident has also renewed discussions about the growing demand for cosmetic and body-enhancement procedures and the importance of patients understanding the potential risks before undergoing invasive treatments.
Medical professionals generally stress the importance of using properly licensed healthcare facilities and qualified practitioners for any surgical procedure, particularly procedures involving sensitive parts of the body.
As investigations continue, attention remains focused on the Bangkok clinic where Ubiribo reportedly received treatment and on the events leading up to his death.
The Thai health authorities’ statement is expected to form part of the information being examined as officials work to establish what happened before the Nigerian-British businessman died.
