Daily Trust learnt that seven of the suspected killers were, however, arrested and handed over to the police.
The general manager of the LASTMA, Mr Olajide Oduyoye, who confirmed the unfortunate incident, also condemned it in strong terms.
Oduyoye said the deceased were allegedly attacked with machetes and other dangerous weapons by the driver of a commercial bus with registration number FKJ 452 YC, plying Bariga to Oshodi via Ikorodu road, in cohorts with some other drivers, after the said vehicle was apprehended for contravening the traffic laws of the state.
He warned that any traffic violation would be punished as approved by the Lagos State House of Assembly.
