You should be able to force a simulated battery pull by holding power and volume down together for about 20 seconds, this should turn the device off.

If the app loads on boot, you'll probably need to boot to safe mode and remove it from there. You can boot in to safe mode by turning off and holding volume down and power to turn it back on.
