She expressed her confusion and frustration over the baby mama’s sudden demand for financial help from her and her ailing husband.
Rachael emphasised her primary focus on taking care of Ezekiel and asserted that she had never extended any support to his children from a previous relationship.
“Otuoma ndio alizaa na yeye, not me,” she said.
Even if all of Otuoma's kids were here, I have no business with them because... I don’t even want to explain myself. They said they are going to the family, so let them. Their story is none of my business. What I know is I have my husband, and I am taking care of him. That’s my deal. Why am I being dragged there? Why blackmail? I met him when he was single and without children.
Rachael Otuoma accuses hubby's family of neglect
In April this year, Rachael expressed her frustration and disappointment with Ezekiel's family.
She accused them of neglect and mistreatment, alleging that they have failed to visit or support Ezekiel since his diagnosis.
This neglect, according to Rachael, has added to the challenges she faces while caring for her husband.
"Otuoma's mum has never visited this house for four good years. He has never seen her son. But when I speak, I am the bad one. I have covered so many things because of Otuoma. Even Otuoma is tired," she said.
Rachael vehemently denied allegations from Ezekiel’s family that she married him for his wealth.
"I have never been counseled, and then there is no thank you. It is disrespect after disrespect. They should leave me alone, I am tired. These people can kill you while you are still alive," she added.
She expressed her disappointment and hurt over being unfairly scapegoated. Rachael emphasized that her dedication to Ezekiel transcends material possessions and is rooted in love and devotion.
