Under these conditions, the iPad is useless to you. See:

Before you buy an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from someone other than Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, make sure that the device is erased and no longer linked to the previous owner’s account.

And see: Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201365 See this heading Check for Activation Lock before you buy a device from someone else.
