A newspaper had earlier reported how Madu pulled over on March 10, 2021 and was fined $300 for being on his cellphone in a school zone.

Jason Kenney, Premier of Alberta, has asked Nigeria-born Justice Minister and Solicitor General, Kaycee Madu, to step back from ministerial duties following reports he called Edmonton’s police chief after receiving a distracted driving ticket.It was confirmed through court records Madu was issued a ticket for operating a vehicle while using a cellphone and paid the $300 fine two days later.

“To be abundantly clear, at no point did I request that the ticket be rescinded. I would never do that. However, in that particular call, I regret raising the issue at all with the Chief McFee,” Madu said, adding he paid the ticket in full. In a series of tweets late Monday, Kenney said he spoke to Madu about the incident, and said it is “essential the independent administration of justice is maintained.”
