By: Awajis Josiah-Chijindu 

A notorious criminal, Chukwumela Imela Popularly known as boy Satan and other members of his gang responsible for car snatching and burglary in the Ada-George, Iwofe and Ogbogoro areas of Port Harcourt have been neutralized by the Rivers State Police Command.


Briefing Newsmen at the Command's headquarters in Port Harcourt, Rivers State Commissioner of Police Olatunji Disu said boy Satan had been to prison four times for various crimes.

"Other locations of their operation are Egbelu, Diobu, D-line, GRA II and Borikiri. The gang has been responsible for snatching, at gunpoint, over 10 cars in the past 3 months and has been terrorising Rivers State residents seeking to enjoy the comforts and thrills of nightlife in the GRA II axis of Port Harcourt.

Boy Satan was involved in various crimes, ranging from cultism to raping and armed robbery. 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’.

According to the Police boss, boy Satan and his gang members met their Waterloo when they  engaged the police in a gun battle after a robbery operation at Diobu area of Port Harcourt.

"The Police who had been on the heels of the criminal gang got credible intelligence that they were about to carry out another operation at Diobu using a Keke-bus (minivan) on the 8th of June 2024. Men of the Octopus strike force of the Command immediately mobilised to the area and aided by the Diobu vigilante, came upon the criminals at Okonkwo Street in Diobu".

"On sighting the Police, the gang began shooting at the Police. Boy Satan and other gang members fled the scene after being overpowered by the superior firepower of the Police however, the gang’s driver, Junior Moses Eyimode, was arrested, and the minivan was recovered by the Police". CP Disu said 

CP Disu speaking further, noted that 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.

Items recovered from the hoodlums include one Beretta pistol, two locally made revolvers and two cars as investigations continue in a bid to mop up other stolen vehicles and round up fleeing gang members.
