He said that Imenger died at the national hospital in Abuja
on Monday morning after a protracted illness.
“It is true that we lost our team manager 3am at the Abuja
national hospital today,” Tyowua revealed.
“The TM had been in and out of the hospital for a while. He
was on life support and used oxygen to breath at the Federal Medical Centre in
Makurdi.
“Just yesterday, he was referred to the Abuja national
hospital. But he died in the hospital.
“Quite unfortunate that we lost a rare gem. It’s a great
loss to Nigerian football. May his soul Rest In Peace.”

He was part of the Super Eagles team that played at the 1995
FIFA Confederations Cup in Saudi Arabia.
