Two other people sustained various degrees of injuries and were administered first aid treatment on the scene before they were transferred to the hospital for proper medical care.
The responsible maintenance of many of Lagos' famous yellow buses has been an issue of concern for years.
Lagos Commissioner for Transportation, Frederick Oladeinde, said in February that the government plans to phase out the buses soon as they're not 'conducive for a mega city'
However, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu earlier this month said it would be unfair to scrap them as they have served residents for a long time.

He said a better plan would be to remodel them, noting that citizens deserve newer models of cars for ease of public transportation.
