This is what the original owner should have done...

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

Factory Reset here...

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support

If you encounter Activation Lock, you will not be able to use the device without the cooperation of original owner.
