How do I remove iCloud account if previous owner I bought it from just refuses to help

I have a iPhone I bought from a friend an says he doesn’t want to deal with the headache of removing account, says he tried everything an gave him too much problems he didn’t want to deal with. How can I get the account removed so that I can use it instead throwing it out to waste

Return it and get your money back, there is no way to remove the icloud activation lock without the previous owners information.

Not sure what issue he is having doing this.

Time to find some new friends as well.
