What Niel said- Activation Lock cannot be removed by anyone except the original owner. The old owner needed to follow these instructions before selling it - What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Not even Apple will remove it without the original purchase receipt. If you cannot contact the seller, you've likely been scammed. See here - The All Too Common SAD Reality of Buying … - Apple Community
