Why does my phone switch back on by itself 5 minutes after I power off?

My infinix s5 mobile has refused to stay off after I power off. It comes on by itself after about 5 minutes as if I'm rebooting but I'm actually powering off. I don't know if it's mistaking power off for reboot but 5minutes seems to long for a reboot. I'm afraid this will reduce the quality of my battery over time. I'd like to be able to power off and have it stay off until I switch it on. Has anyone experienced this with their phone?

Welcome to Android Central! The Power button might be faulty. Try cleaning it with a generous amount of rubbing alcohol.
