Oyo

Mr Westwood, who has not responded to the BBC's requests for comment, had a gig in Oyo state in Nigeria on Monday.

The Oyo state government said victims had been taken to hospitals across Ibadan for treatment after the crush at the Islamic High School in the city's Bashorun district.

But his son hopes that during his send-off, which Oyo state has agreed to fund, he will be remembered for the design that became a symbol of a united Nigeria.

This is when the Oyo state government decided to step in to fund the burial rites for the flag designer.

Instead Taiwo Michael Akinkunmi, who died a year ago aged 87, is going to be buried this week in Oyo state, where he lived.
