The inmates escaped on August 19 after using explosives to blow up the toilet section of the prison.
Authorities of the prison are yet to make public the identities of the escaped inmates who were on awaiting trial.
The alleged offences of the inmates were not known but prison officials said they were notorious kidnappers.
Some officials told the Nation that over congestion of the Oko prison might made it impossible for the authorities to identify the inmates on the run.
When contacted for comments, the Public Relation Officer of the Benin Prison, Barr. Theresa Idiake, said they were still searching for the inmates.
