Question iPhone SE (ist gen) "iPhone Locked to Owner"

[Shinnen]

Hi all,
I bought this at a used items store. I thought that restoring to the factory settings would allow me to use it, but apparently not;
it appears that it's locked to the owner via the iCloud. I' Also, we have a couple of iPads here, and I'm wondering if we could somehow use these accounts to get the thing working?
Any help is appreciated.

You'll need to contact Apple for your options. We will not assist with such issues.

We will not help you bypass any passwords, lock codes, pin numbers, swipe patterns, or any other kind of account/ownership verification on your devices. We have absolutely no way to verify ownership. ALL problems of this sort should be directed to your service provider or product manufacturer...
