You cannot. You would need to active cooperation if whomever signed the current AppleID into iCloud to release activation lock. If the seller cannot or will not help you with that, then you’ll never be able to activate and use that iPhone.

The owner can release the device following steps in -> How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support
