'Two female suicide bombers blew themselves up and gunmen then attacked civilians,' the mayor of the town of N'Guigmi, Abba Kaya Issa, told AFP on Wednesday.
A local resident said several houses had been burned and wounded children in the police camp had been taken to the local hospital.
N'Guigmi lies in the north of the Diffa region, near Lake Chad, which has borne the brunt of cross-border infiltration by the Nigerian-based jihadists.
