How to unlock an iPad Mini purchased from Goodwill Industries

I'm considering buying an iPad Mini from Goodwill but it is activation locked. Is there any way to unlock this? Can Apple help if I prove that it was purchased from Goodwill?

iPad mini, iOS 9

Don't waste your money.

Activation Lock is a theft deterrent feature with no bypass or workaround.

Without the owner's authorisation (Apple ID & password), no thief or anyone including you can re-use the device.
