Is it your iPhone? It sounds like it is someone else's.

You have run into the Activation Lock. If you purchased the iPhone directly from the previous user you need to contact them and have them go into their iCloud account and turn off Find My iPhone.
If you did not purchase directly from the previous owner you need to return the phone and get your money back.
As deggie says, you are encountering Activation Lock, described here:

You have very likely purchased an iPhone that was previously stolen. Hopefully you can get a refund.
BUT I DONT KNOW WHERE HE IS ANY OTHER IDEA TO UNLOCK THIS PHONE
There is no other way to do so. Return it from where you bought it and get your money back.
It can never be unlocked. You might as well turn it in to the authorities then as someone has had it stolen.
CAN I GO TO APPLE STORE AND ASK THEM TO GET HELP BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT ONLINE NOW I DNT HAVE ANY CONTACT OF THE PERSON FROM WHICH I BUY THIS PHONE EM STUCK
no
Please stop yelling at us. (Turn caps lock off)
Did you buy it from Amazon, eBay, what? If yes file a complaint with them and with your local authorities.

No. Apple will not help you with removing the Activation Lock that was enabled on that device by another user. Activation Lock is an anti-theft measure. Either the seller did not properly restore the device back to factory settings, or they were UNABLE to do so, because they either 'forgot' their Apple ID password, or they weren't the legitimate owner of the device.
If you had purchased the device from an authorized retailer, you woul dbe able to provide proof of purchase, and then Apple could do something. In this case, they will do nothing.
what should i do now em very dishearted
Again, what online service did you use to purchase this iPhone/
Amazon
File a complaint with Amazon. And report it to your local police.
