The protest equally resumed in Auchi as the youths again regrouped at the popular Jattu junction , allowing only motorists on essential duties were allowed free passage .
Meanwhile, security has been tightened in parts of the state capital and adjoining towns .
Hoodlums had hijacked the #EndSARS protests in the state on Monday when they attacked two correctional centres freeing inmates.
