advise about iphone 8 plus

some one who is coming from USA sold me this iphone 8 plus, battery was 0% so i couldn't check it before his arrival, after charging and when checking it. i found it locked with apple id, i don't know this apple id info, also i cannot find the buyer any more. what can i do, i left it open for long time, but it is not stolen, might be the original owner forget to remove his apple id from this device.

If you can't reach the previous owner whose ID is on the device and have them remove the device from their account, the device is worthless. Apple won't unlock it for you.
