I cant contact the previous owner that had the iCloud account connected to the iphone because they gave it to a friend that gave it to me is there anything I could do to remove this activation lock!?

Sorry no.

Activation Lock is a theft deterrent feature with no bypass or workaround.

Without the owner's authorisation (Apple ID & password), no thief or anyone including you can re-use the device.
