The crash in a video posted on X, involving the bus with registration number FKJ 872 YA, occurred near the Adeniyi Adele axis heading towards Lagos Island.
According to Farinloye, the driver, speeding at the time, lost control of the vehicle, causing it to veer off the road and collide with the bridge rails.
This impact forcefully propelled the two passengers off the bus and into the Lagos lagoon.
“The victims, an adult male and female, are being searched by the Marine Police.
“The injured have been evacuated to a nearby hospital,” Farinloye added.
