So, basically, you were scammed. No, you're right, you can't unlock it, only the original owner can do that. The salutary lesson here is to not buy Apple devices from individuals on Facebook. Security exists for a reason - if you lost your iDevice, or had it stolen, would you want the finder/thief being able to access your data...?
No, there is nothing you can do. Your only option is to recycle it. Just a thought: you could be in possession of stolen goods; as he disappeared fast, he obviously wanted to offload it. He likely wasn't the original owner, found it was activation locked, and was looking to offload it to the first mug he could find - which, unfortunately, just happened to be you.
