Fighters from Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) stormed Kwaple village, near the town of Chibok, on several motorcycles, opening fire on residents who had gathered to mourn the death of a community leader in the village, the sources said.
Armed Islamists based in neighbouring Mali began mounting cross-border raids on Burkina Faso, and neighbouring Niger, in 2015.
Central Mali has been plagued by violence since the Al-Qaeda-affiliated organisation emerged in 2015.
A large part of the area is beyond state control and is prone to violence by self-defence militias and inter-community reprisals.
