Popular TV presenter and hausa actress Rachel Bakam is dead. The actress died on Tuesday April 13th, at the age of 38 after battling Anaemia.

Bakam until her death was an anti-human trafficking ambassador. She worked with non-government organizations ― Devatop Centre for Africa Development ― in campaigning against s*x trafficking and other forms of modern slavery in Nigeria.

Her family is reportedly still reeling in shock from her sudden demise.
Since her death, many have paid tribute to the Kaduna born presenter. Chocolate City founder Audu Maikori eulogised Bakam on a Facebook post, describing her as an exceptional human.
“Rachel was a very inspiring woman, sister and mother- always had a smile, always positive and very very clear about her goals. I met her probably 17 years ago in Kaduna through a mutual friend and later on with her then husband Israel Edjeren,” he wrote.

“More recently, we were in the same Kaduna Creative group where we mentor, support and share opportunities for empowerment – and she was always very active, passionate about any project concerning Southern Kaduna and Kaduna state as a whole- but with a keen focus on helping the less privileged and the displaced refugees across the country.”
