Among the dead were a pregnant woman, two siblings, an old woman and a man returning from his place of work.
According to the publication, the driver of the yet-to-be-identified woman had left the vehicle for her near Majok Filling Station on Ilaje Road and had left for his house.
The woman, said to be staying on Adebisi Street, had barely taken the wheels to drive the SUV home when the incident occurred.
The vehicle reportedly surged forward, crushing pedestrians and killing four of them on the spot.
A set of nine injured people were reportedly taken to the Gbagada General Hospital, among whom two died; while another set of seven casualties were later recovered.
It was learnt that two more corpses were found in the gutter on Sunday morning.
Angry youths were said to have gone to the scene and dragged the woman out of the SUV and beaten her up.
She was about to be lynched when some policemen from the Bariga Police Division intervened.
