This is called activation lock and is a security feature that only the original owner can remove following How to remove Activation Lock - Apple Support


You'll need to keep trying to get ahold of the person you bought it from. If you cannot, or they refuse to remove it there is nothing that you can do and the phone will not be useable by you or anyone else.
