Reports suggest Imenger has been in and out of the hospital for some months before his demise on Monday.
He was said to have been on life support at the Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Makurdi, Benue State, before he was referred to the National Hospital in Abuja.
Imenger was part of the Super Eagles in the mid-90s and was part of the team that played at the 1995 FIFA Confederations Cup (King Fahd Cup) in Saudi Arabia. He was the second-youngest member of that team at 19 years.
