Securely erase device in order to sell it

I'd like to put my Jolla Phone for sale. Since I used it for six months as my primary device, there is a whole lot of private data there. I can sure change all my passwords such that one cannot access the accounts any more. But I would really like to securely erase the flash memory where my data has been stored.

Currently I just have it factory reset and logged into my guest wifi to download all the firmware upgrades. But I would like to prevent somebody from reading old emails or something like that.
