Dispute Emerges Over Death of British-Nigerian Influencer in Thailand
The son of Igho 'Tiny' Ubiribo has challenged reports that his father died from complications following a cosmetic procedure in Thailand, alleging foul play and missing assets.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, citing the Nigerian news outlet Vanguard, the death of British-Nigerian businessman and influencer Igho 'Tiny' Ubiribo has become the subject of a public dispute. While initial reports suggested Ubiribo died due to a pulmonary embolism following a genital enhancement procedure in Thailand, his son, Junior Ubiribo, has publicly contested this narrative.
Junior Ubiribo claims his father was murdered in March. He alleges that his father sustained severe injuries, including the loss of an eye and a deep forehead wound, questioning how such trauma could result from a medical procedure. Furthermore, Junior has raised concerns regarding his father’s estate, alleging that assets—including firearms and watches—went missing following his death, and has accused his father’s wife of involvement in their disappearance.
For residents and travelers, this case highlights the importance of verifying medical service providers and the complexities that can arise in international legal and estate matters. It is important to note that these claims remain unverified allegations made by Junior Ubiribo. There is currently no independent evidence confirming that Igho Ubiribo was murdered, nor has there been official confirmation regarding the specific nature of the injuries described by his son. Investigations into the circumstances of the death and the missing assets are ongoing.
