In 2023, Comfort Baaba Jackson became an overnight sensation after a viral video of her as a sympathiser falling face-first on a coffin inside a grave pit with a scream, "Eiii, Father Bernard," emerged on social media.
The incident from the viral video happened at the burial service of the late Reverend Father Bernard Kofi Ackon on March 21, 2023.
The late religious leader was a parish priest at St John the Baptist Church in Saltpond, the capital of the Mfantsiman Municipal District in the Central Region of Ghana, before his demise.
Comfort's sound from the viral video was used by TikTok personalities and notable celebrities for online challenges and funny content.
Comfort Baaba Jackson speaks after viral video
In an interview with Kofi TV after her rise to fame, Comfort explained her reason for exclaiming at the late Father Bernard's burial service.
Comfort, who has already lost both parents, said the late priest was like a father to her, so his passing made her distraught.
In an interview with Kofi TV, she recounted how supportive Father Bernard had been to her while he was alive.
She said:
"Father Bernard was the one taking care of me. I have a challenge, so he prays for me and helps me in other ways. He also helped me go through life after a broken heart. He was also supporting my father when he was alive."
When asked why she jumped into the grave of Father Bernard, Comfort said she did not know what came over her and that she did not intend to jump into the grave, even though she wanted to follow him.
She recollected that she was standing far from the grave. However, while they dropped the wreaths on the coffin, she fell into the grave.
Comfort later disappeared from the limelight as the video continued to trend on social media.
