Remember him? He was the Lagos State commissioner of police before he got promoted to the rank of a deputy inspector general of police, before his retirement from the force, having attained the statutory age of 60 years.

The Orogun, Delta State-born Marvel Akpoyibo, who now runs a Law chamber in Abuja after his retirement, is also now a fullfledged pastor.

His ambition, according to him, is to preside over a church as the man-in-charge, one day. Our correspondent met the ebony-black super cop at the Murtala Muhammed Airport Lagos, penultimate week, dressed in a black suit on his way to the United States of America.

When a question was put to him about his new project, he simply laughed and retorted, “I thank God for his mercies. It’s not an easy task to serve as a police officer and get retired with good records to show for it. It was not my making. Everything is God Almighty.

So, for me, I shall dedicate the rest of my life to serve the living God. I have tasted God and found Him worthy. I remain in His vineyard for the rest of my life”
