Augustine Aniebo (; born 23 March 1950) is a retired Nigerian army brigadier general who served as military administrator of Borno State from 1997 to 1998 during the regime of General Sani Abacha[2] and administrator of Kogi State from 1998 to 1999 during the regime of General Abdulsalami Abubakar, handing over to the elected civilian governor Abubakar Audu on 29 May 1999, at the start of the Fourth Republic.[3]

Borno State Administrator

In May 1997, Nigerian security agents, working with Islamic leaders stormed a Christian church in Maiduguri, Borno State and ejected the pastor and church members. The church leaders appealed to Aniebo to act quickly to avoid a religious crisis.[4] In 1998, he said that the Borno State task force against smuggling had been strengthened to reduce cross-border smuggling of petroleum products to neighboring countries.[5]

Kogi State Administrator

Appointed administrator of Kogi State in August 1998, Aniebo left office on 29 May 1999 without swearing in his successor, handing over by proxy.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
