If you have bought 2nd hand iPhone, you must contact the seller (hopefully it is the previous owner), otherwise you have been scammed.
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.
So you have to contact the previous owner.
The previous owner has to read -> this Apple article: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
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
Check your Apple ID device list to find where you're signed in - Apple Support
Then you can sign in with your own Apple ID.
See the following Apple articles:

Nothing you can do, but return the phone if possible. It will always be locked to the original owner and you will not be able to use it without their credentials to unlock it. This is a theft prevention feature that cannot be bypassed. You have no way of knowing if the device was stolen or not.
