Susan Pwajok, an actress, has described how the Boko Haram conflict destroyed her family home in Jos, Plateau state.
In a recent episode of the Surviving Lagos podcast, the actress appeared alongside her mother, Carol Pwajok.
During the interview, Pwajok stated: “Boko Haram fighters burned down our house while I was inside with my grandparents and cousins.”
The 21-year-old starlet claimed the terrorists ruined her grandfather’s automobiles. She also mentioned that her family managed to escape the fire.
“I was in Jos when they attacked our house. Boko Haram burnt our house down to the ground,” she said.
“We were in the house, I was with my cousins, my mum was in Lagos, we were about to travel. My grandpa, my two cousins and my grandma crawled to the garden to hide and we watched the house burning down.
“They burnt my grandfather’s hilux, benz, and all our properties. Imagine watching your whole life just coming down.
“That was my childhood house and my mum’s childhood house and they had to rebuild the house. Those are the memories that I hold onto and these are the things that keep me going.”
Pwajok is popular for her role as Blessing in ‘The Johnsons’, the family sitcom.
