This is necessary not only to sustain the nation but also to guarantee her future. Much as every citizen is obligated to join the anti-corruption army, the duty is primarily that of the law-enforcement agencies with particular reference to the police. In the Islamic cosmology, the angels were created to execute divine directives without fear or favour. They are naturally loyal. They do not break the law. Even though police personnel, as human beings, have limitations, the study examines the extent to which the ideals of implicit loyalty and effectiveness of angels in carrying out divine instructions can be used to set models for the Nigeria Police. The method adopted is exploratory and correlative. The findings include the fact that bribery, corrupt practices, extrajudicial killings, indiscipline and other forms of professional misconduct are rampant among the police presumably owing to lack of any motivating ethico-spiritual ideal. These misdemeanors will drastically reduce should the police imbibe the spirit of self-discipline and absolute loyalty, a development that will enhance their professional efficiency in stemming the tide of corruption in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pdf-viewer-block-standard\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uploaded-pdf\"><a href=\"https:\/\/natais.org.ng\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Article1.pdf\" data-width=\"\" data-height=\"\"><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The war against corruption in Nigeria is apparently a daunting one;
