Select the Key with the offending Signature and revoke the Signature.

the command is --revsig form the Edit Key prompt.

Promptly disseminate the Key with the Sig Revoked via Key Servers and
perhaps a direct email to all correspondents.  The 'trick' will be to
get the Key Owner to re-Import His Key with the [revoked] flag on Your
Sig.  :-\
