According to him, the victim is in stable condition.
The commissioner added that after a detailed search by EOD experts, no other explosive devices were found in the area.
He asked traders and residents in the market to stay calm and continue their normal activities.
Tijani also said parts of the explosive device had been recovered and taken for forensic checks as investigation continues.
He urged residents to ignore rumours of rising insecurity in Lagos, saying such reports were false.
The police boss also repeated the command's promise to protect lives and property across the state and warned criminals to stay away from Lagos.
Also speaking, the Baale of Oke Mushin Community, Mr Tajudeen Faronbi, said the incident happened in the early hours of Monday while he was praying.
"Early this morning, around one o'clock, while I was praying, I received a call that something unusual had been seen. When I got there, I saw a vehicle and people were afraid to go near it," he said.
Faronbi said he quickly contacted the Area Commander and other security officials because of the nature of the situation.
He said about 35 police officers were sent to the area, while more officers joined later to stop people from going close to the vehicle.
According to him, the quick response helped calm people and stopped the situation from causing more panic.
He added that security officers later blocked the area and took over the scene to inspect the vehicle and protect residents.
Faronbi said the owner of the vehicle was still unknown, as nobody in the area could say who parked it there or why it was brought to the market.
