His remains had been deposited at ECWA Hospital, Egbe, while the whereabouts of Kolawole remains unknown.
Commissioner of Police in the state, Ayuba Ede, while reacting to the incident, said an intensive investigation is in progress to unravel the perpetrators of the heinous act.
The abduction of the council chairman may not be unconnected with his concerted efforts to rid his local government area of hoodlums suspected to be criminal herdsmen terrorising the council.
