There's nothing you can do yourself. Only he can unlock it. Direct him to the section titled "If you no longer have your iPhone or iPad" in this Apple support article:


What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


Once that's done, you can erase it using the following procedure:


If you forgot your iPhone passcode or your iPhone is disabled - Apple Support
