See “Check for Activation Lock before you buy a device from someone else“ at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201365


That prior owner will need to regain access to their Apple ID following https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201354 and/or https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht201487


After this they can remove their Apple ID from the iPhone following https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201441
