The Rivers State Police Command has killed suspected notorious gang leader, Chukwumela Imela popularly known as Boy Satan.
The state Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, made this known in a statement on Tuesday, while who parading members of Boy Satan’s gang, arrested by the command.
He said the gang were responsible for snatching at gunpoint over 10 cars in the past three months.
Disu noted that Boy Satan was famed for armed robbery, rape, and killing rival cultists and allies.
“Together with his childhood friend and companion, Precious Adiele, he joined the Iceland cult group in 2009. He is famed for being merciless in killing both rivals and allies, thus earning him the moniker ‘Boy Satan’”, Disu.
“In 2022, Boy Satan disagreed with the Iceland cult group over loot sharing from a robbery and angrily moved to join a rival group, ‘La Mendians Bobos’.
“To celebrate his defection, he decided to make a bold statement by accosting his friend, Precious Adiele, and macheting him to death in his residence. After killing his friend, he boasted that he was not afraid to hurt even his family to prove a point.
In 2012, he attacked a businessman named George, who was on his way to attend a church vigil and demanded his phone. The man handed his phone to him and on seeing the phone he got enraged that it was not an Android phone and proceeded to give machete cuts to him.
George was rescued by a member of the local vigilante in Diobu, one Aniefiok David who fought him off and took the injured victim for treatment. This act of the vigilante offended Boy Satan, and he earmarked Aniefiok David for death.
“He began trailing the 39-year-old vigilante who worked as a sachet water distributor. On a particular night, a few weeks after the incident with George, at Ojoto Round-about in Diobu, he waylaid Aniefiok and shot him in the chest with a locally-made pistol.
Aniefiok swung his machete as he took the shot and hacked off Boy Satan’s left hand at the wrist. They were both taken to the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (formerly Braithwaite Memorial Hospital) where Boy Satan was arrested by the Police and charged to court. That marked his first imprisonment.
Disu said after he returned from prison, he continued his criminal activities before he was gunned down by officers of the command.
