The Informant247 has felicitated one of its former journalists, Nurudeen Akewushola, on the occasion of his wedding to Princess Shifau Lawal of Ipe town in Oyun Local Government Area of Kwara State.
Akewushola, who is now a senior investigative journalist and fact-checker with the International Centre for Investigative Reporting (ICIR), walked down the aisle with his beloved wife, Shifau, on Saturday, December 27, 2025.
The wedding was held in three phases, starting with the Nikkah, an Islamic ceremony conducted privately at the bride’s family home.
This was followed by a traditional marriage ceremony, where the couple and their guests enjoyed an exciting celebration, before the grand reception, which commenced around 4 p.m.
In a statement personally signed by the CEO and Publisher of The Informant247, Mr. Salihu Shola Taofeek congratulated the couple on their wedding and wished them a blissful union.
“The Informant247 family extends our best wishes to Nurudeen and his beloved wife on the occasion of their marriage. It is truly a proud moment for us all, and we are happy for the couple as they begin their marital journey,” the statement read in part.
The publisher further commended the groom for his steadfastness and for being a good ambassador of the media organisations he has worked for, where he distinguished himself through journalistic excellence.
Meanwhile, Nurudeen, on behalf of the couple, expressed heartfelt appreciation to everyone who supported them in different ways.
“Yesterday marked the beginning of a new chapter in our lives, and we sincerely appreciate everyone who supported us in various ways. Your prayers, messages, calls, and kind gestures meant a lot to us and contributed to the joy of the day,” he said.
An elated Nurudeen and his new bride were warmly surrounded and celebrated by friends who came from far and near to witness the culmination of a love journey that began on the campus of Usman Danfodio University, Sokoto.
