Nollywood actress Susan Pwajok has opened up about a harrowing experience from her past.

She recounted how her family home in Jos, Plateau State, was destroyed by Boko Haram while they were still inside. Fortunately, they were able to escape.

During the latest episode of her podcast, Surviving Lagos, Susan and her mother, Carol Pwajok, revealed that the terrorists also set fire to her grandfather’s vehicles and all of their belongings.

She said, “I was in Jos, Boko Haram attacked our house. They burnt our house down to the ground and we were in the house. I was with my cousins. My mum was in Lagos.

“Me, my grandparents and my two cousins, we crawled to the garden to hide and watched the house burn down. They burnt my grandfather’s hilux, benz, and all our properties. Imagine your whole life just coming down. Because that was my childhood house. We had to rebuild the house.”
