Maiduguri – Unknown gunmen on Saturday in Maiduguri struck at the venue of the wedding ceremony of 30-year-old Maduga Borikmen and shot him dead.

The stray bullets also hit one person and injured two others on the occasion.

Ylva-Maria Thompson, Swedish-born headmistress of the college says that their core education is not theoretical, but very practical.
“Sexual positions, caressing techniques, anatomical features. And we teach people hands on,” explains Thompson.
