BEVERLY HILLS, April 19, (THEWILL) –Â Of the many Nigerians who are mourning late television presenter, Rachel Bakam, the two individuals who have been badly hit by the shocking news of her death are Israel Edjaren and John Fashanu. The duo are currently beside themselves with grief and if there is one thing they wish could be granted them at the moment, it most likely will be to have Rachel come back to life despite how things went south between her and each of the men. While Israel Edjaren, a popular television personality with the defunct DBN TV was her husband, John Fashanu was her boyfriend. Her marriage with Israel which lasted for only a few years ended in 2014.
Rachel had said they both decided to end things amicably as they were both experiencing some difficulties in their marriage. She quickly moved on to another love interest, football legend, John Fashanu. At the time they were an item, Rachel had gushed in an interview she granted about how in love she was with the handsome athlete. She described him as very caring man whose paramount interest is her happiness. In addition to giving her money, she said he supports and encourages her work, something her ex husband never did for her.
Unfortunately, despite all of the aforementioned attributes, Fashanu never walked her down the aisle. Perhaps, he didn’t want to ruin the beauty of the relationship with another marriage having been married thrice before. But barely two years into their fairy tale relationship, both went their separate ways, much to the dismay of many. They however still remained friends.
Rachel Bakam died at 12 pm on Tuesday of anemia at the age of 38. She hailed from Fadia Tudun Wada in Zangon Kataf LGA in Kaduna state and was the CEO and managing director of Rayzeds Media Ltd, founder and president of the Nigerian Water Ski and Wakeboard Federation (NWWF).
