The clip, which has been trending for several days, prompted quick recognition of the lawmaker and renewed debate about conduct by public officials in public spaces.
Madowo said the recording captured the episode in exceptional detail.
"That iPhone 17 Pro Max camera came through.I didn’t know one was an MP when I posted but they were caught in 4K so people recognized him quickly," he wrote on X, noting that the clarity of the footage helped viewers identify the MP involved.
The video shows the vehicle performing a manoeuvre that appears to violate traffic regulations.
Social media users replayed and shared the clip, drawing attention to both the act and the rapid circulation of citizen-captured evidence.
No formal statement from the MP has been included in the footage or the post.
Citizen journalism and smartphone recordings have become central to how misconduct by public figures is documented and discussed.
In this case, the combination of a prominent journalist sharing the material and the high-resolution quality of the recording amplified public interest and accelerated identification of the individual in the footage.
Public reaction on X and other platforms ranged from calls for investigation to reminders about due process.
Several commentators urged law enforcement or parliamentary authorities to examine the clip and determine whether any statutory or parliamentary rules were breached. Others focused on the broader implications for accountability and road safety.
