Each Apple device is linked/associated with an Apple ID of the person who did the setup.
Activation Lock prevents anyone who is not the owner from using this iPhone.
To unlock the Phone, you need the Apple ID and password of the previous owner, that were used during set up.
See the following Apple articles:
Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
How to remove Activation Lock

The previous owner have to read -> this Apple article: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Then the previous owner has to remove the iPhone from his account, see this Apple article:
Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in

Then you can sign in with your Apple ID.
