Accused kidnapper from Oregon planned to create his own “child army”

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. (KPTV) – More details are emerging in the case of a man accused of kidnapping in federal court in Klamath Falls.

According to prosecutors, court documents say 30-year-old Negasi Zuberi planned to build his own “child army” by fathering several children with different women.

Zuberi was arrested last year after police said he kidnapped a woman in Seattle, sexually assaulted her and drove her to his home in Klamath Falls. The woman escaped and alerted authorities. Police then found a makeshift cell made of cinder blocks in his home where he allegedly held her.

Zuberi is also accused of kidnapping another woman outside a bar in Portland.

This week, Zuberi, 30, appeared in federal court, where prosecutors presented evidence they said showed he was planning to carry out a “larger plan” that included creating an army of his own children and building a so-called bunker to house them.

It is still not clear what his ultimate goal was or why he wanted a children's army in the first place.

The man currently has two children, one of whom he used as a “human shield” when he was arrested for kidnapping last year, according to police.

The trial against Zuberi is scheduled to begin in October.
