I am being asked to update Apple Account Settings

I only have one other device, that's the wife's old iPhone, wiped and set up with this Apple ID account and used for DJI drone display screen. It was set up 6 months ago.

I have never used an apple product as a main device and only have ever had the one Apple ID.

This device has a couple of apps and all just installed now as only just set it up. I have no contacts in either device as I have never used apple products for communications (been using Android since the first Samsung Galaxy)

And I don't even know the person whose email address it's asking for! I only recognise the company from the domain name. How do I just wipe it out?

I dont think you read my fault issue correctly.

The device was given to me by a friend and he wiped it from its previous accounts. This message is asking me to verify an email account from a business I worked at 10 years ago, it has nothing to do with this iPad or its previous owner, or me for that matter (I dont even know the person from the email account). The email domain its asking me to validate no longer exists as that company went bankrupt in 2017.
