How do I remove activation lock off of my MacBook Pro?

Subject: Assistance Required for Activation Lock Issue on Purchased MacBook Pro

Dear Apple community, I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 15 inch (2019 model) from an auction where goods are imported from Japan to Nigeria. I bought it as non tested. I was lucky it turned on, upon trying to set up the device, I encountered an activation lock that is requesting an Apple ID and password that I do not have. I am reaching out to seek your assistance in resolving this issue. I would like to know if the device is in Lost Mode or has been reported as stolen.

As a buyer, I am not comfortable dealing with such situations and would appreciate any help you can provide to verify the status of the device and assist in unlocking it if possible.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Best regards.
