Residents of the state are seen making use of the bank with their Automated Teller Machine cards.
A resident Dele Issac, said he was at the market to buy items for his family.
“As you can see, normalcy is gradually returning but people are still suffering and smiling.
“So, the calm that we have, I can say it is an uneasy one, it is like sitting on the keg of gun powder.
He said this is the first time the Nigerian youths are coming out to ask for a change which is an opportunity for the president to have written his name in gold by granting the demand but he is yet to do so.
Another resident, Jude Igbor, called on the government to be responsive to the people.
Two people died and several others injured when hoodlums and youths clashed during the #ENDSARS protest in the state.
