How to disassociate a phone number from iMessage?

My friend is using android phone, while his phone number is being used by another person (he does not know who is that person is) as his IMESSAGE. How is that possible? Is there any solution on how my friend can disassociate his number from being use for IMESSAGE?

If you switch from iPhone to Android and want to deregister your phone number, follow the steps in this article:

Text messages (SMS) require a phone number and, as far as I know, iMessage on Android is not officially supported by Apple at this time.
