So, here's what happened.

This purchase was a fraud. It's a very popular one – selling the locked devices.

As long as you are not an original owner of this iPhone, you have no proof of purchase and it's locked not to your Apple ID, Apple wont remove the Activation Lock from it.

Unfortunately, this device is completely useless to you.

What can you do is to send it back to your uncle and ask him to bring it to the place where he purchased it or to the police station.

I'm sorry, there's no there way.
